Ratings: 4.82 / 5.00




Description

This course targets Qt5 but is mostly compatible with Qt6 - I am in the process of recording the Qt6 material, anyone owning this course will get a free upgrade to the Qt6 version.


Qt 5 Widgets and Desktop programming with C++ is designed for anyone who has a solid understanding of C++ and Qt 5 Core. This course will take you all the way from "what is a button" to model view controller programming. Includes full source code available on GitHub, and includes an entire section of example applications. This course overs Qt 5. Because Qt 6 has so many changes, I will re-record these lessons using Qt 6 and place them into a different course.


No experience with QML necessary, this is a beginners course that will teach you the foundations Widgets cross platform development. Widgets run on most major desktops (windows, mac, linux).


We will start with a short introduction to Widgets, and then rapidly move on to more complex topics.


This course is specifically designed for Qt 5 with beginner in mind but as I mentioned, most of this is comptatible with Qt6. These videos take you from knowing nothing about Qt Widgets to creating intermediate level applications using C++. These videos build on the popular Qt Core series available on Udemy. These videos show many best practices and how to overcome common mistakes. About the author: Bryan has created  hundreds of Qt tutorials available on YouTube and has created official Qt training videos for the Qt Company. Full source code available on GitHub, and runs a Facebook community with thousands of developers that can offer free help 24x7.


Highly recommended that you have a strong foundation in Qt Core before attempting this course - fear not, I have other courses available on Udemy:

Qt 5 Core Intermediate

Qt 5 Core Advanced
