Cross-Platform GUI Development with Qt5: Develop Modern UI Apps

The Qt framework is a powerful application development ecosystem that provides a great user experience and enables the creation of full-capability applications utilizing Qt Widgets, QML, and even Qt 3D. This learning path demonstrates the flexibility and strength of the Qt framework for desktop application development, showcasing how you can write an application once and deploy it across multiple operating systems, including Android, iOS, Windows, MacOS, and Linux.

The course will equip you with a deeper understanding of the Qt framework and its tools, empowering you to resolve common challenges such as linking, debugging, and multithreading when developing cross-platform applications. You will gain practical skills by creating a to-do-style app and navigating through all the stages of building a successful project. Additionally, you will develop a suite of apps, during which you will deepen your knowledge of Qt Quick's layout systems and witness Qt 3D and widgets in action.

The next project will focus on the industrial and agricultural sectors, where you will create a monitoring system to make sense of sensor data. Your apps should run seamlessly across devices and operating systems, while also being cost-effective by integrating with existing web technologies. In this role as a lead developer, you will prototype the monitoring system and explore Qt's Bluetooth and HTTP APIs, as well as the Charts and Web Engine UI modules. These projects will provide you with a comprehensive understanding of the Qt framework.
