Use the latest features of C++17 for improving the performance of your Qt applications
Book Description
Qt is a powerful development framework that provides developers all the toolset for building cross-platform application which greatly reduces the development time and improve productivity. Completely revised and updated with C++17 and the latest development in Qt 5.12, this comprehensive guide is a third edition of Application Development with Qt Creator.

You'll start with designing a user interface using Qt Designer and how to instantiate custom messages, forms, and dialogues. We will also look at Qt's support for multithreading, a key tool in keeping applications feeling responsive and how to make use of Qt's model-view-controller to display data and content. We will implement concrete examples for offscreen drawing to bitmaps as well as creating custom widgets that interoperate with Qt Widgets. We will be covering all the new features added in the latest version of the Qt Creator such as new themes, Qt Quick Controls 2, enhanced Cmake support, a new graphical editor for SCXML, and Model Editor. Moving forward, we will see various aspects of Qt in regards to multimedia, sensors, localization, cross-platform mobile development, embedded and IoT development as well.

By the end of this book, you will be able to create your own cross-platform applications from scratch using Qt Creator and C++ programming language.
