This is the code repository for Hands On Mobile and Embedded Development with Qt 5, published by Packt.
Build apps for Android, iOS, and Raspberry Pi with C++ and Qt
Qt is a world-class framework, helping you to develop rich graphical user interfaces (GUIs) and multi-platform applications that run on all major desktop platforms and most mobile or embedded platforms. The framework helps you connect the dots across platforms and between online and physical experience.
This book covers the following exciting features:
- Explore the latest features of Qt, such as preview for Qt for Python and Qt for WebAssembly
- Create fluid UIs with a dynamic layout for different sized screens
- Deploy embedded applications on Linux systems using Yocto
- Design Qt APIs for building applications for embedded and mobile devices
- Utilize connectivity for networked and machine automated applications
