Overview of this book

Qt 5, the latest version of Qt, enables you to develop applications with complex user interfaces for multiple targets. It provides you with faster and smarter ways to create modern UIs and applications for multiple platforms. This book will teach you to design and build graphical user interfaces that are functional, appealing, and user-friendly. In the initial part of the book, you will learn what Qt 5 is and what you can do with it. You will explore the Qt Designer, discover the different types of widgets generally used in Qt 5, and then connect your application to the database to perform dynamic operations. Next, you will be introduced to Qt 5 chart which allows you to easily render different types of graphs and charts and incorporate List View Widgets in your application. You will also work with various Qt modules, like QtLocation, QtWebEngine, and the networking module through the course of the book. Finally, we will focus on cross-platform development with QT 5 that enables you to code once and run it everywhere, including mobile platforms. By the end of this book, you will have successfully learned about high-end GUI applications and will be capable of building many more powerful, cross-platform applications.

Introduction to Qt Quick and QML

In the following section, we will learn what Qt Quick and QML are, and how we can make use of them to develop Qt applications without the need for writing C++ code.

Introducing Qt Quick

Qt Quick is a module in Qt that provides a whole set of user-interface engines and language infrastructure for developing touch-oriented and visual-oriented applications. Instead of using the usual Qt Widgets for user-interface design, developers who choose Qt Quick will be using the Qt Quick objects and controls instead.

Furthermore, developers will be writing their code using the QML language, which has similar syntax to JavaScript, rather than writing in C++ code. You can, however, use the C++ API provided...
