Qt 5 QML For Beginners: The Fundamentals

Important note: There is an update of this course to Qt 6. If you're just starting out, that's what you should take. Take this if you have a specific reason to target Qt 5.

Qt Quick (QML) is the latest and greatest technology from the Qt Framework, to build slick looking , fluid, dynamic and cross platform User Interfaces that can run mobile devices(Android,IoS, touch devices (embedded) and any major desktop platform out there(Linux,Windows,Mac). Qt Quick can be used to build stand-alone applications, but it can also be interfaced and/or extended with a C++ back end. The main aim of this course is to help you succeed in becoming a Qt Quick/QML GUI Designer and do so in the most effective amount of time possible.

The course is packed with lots of straight to the point, easy to understand demos, that are carefully designed to help you master a given Qt Quick UI development topic at hand. The target student is anyone willing to add Qt Quick/QML UI design to their stack of skills. While Qt Quick is built on top of Qt and C++, no knowledge of Qt or C++ is required.

The course will equally be useful to both designers willing to jump into Qt Quick and existing C++ developers willing to level up their skills in fluid UI design. We start by getting your development environment set up and get you to run your first Qt Quick application. We then jump into topics likeDissecting the QML Syntax , where we explore subjects like the QML syntax, Basic Types of QML, Properties and Handlers,Property Binding and the Qt Quick Global Object;Qt Quick Basic Elements, and look at elements like Rectangle,Text, Image and Item;Signals and Slots;Working with Javascript, where we explore the javascript environment available to you in QML, where and how to type your Javascript code in QML files, functions and scope and importing external Javascript files;User Input Elements: TextInput, TextEdit, MouseArea and drag and drop, Keys Attached Properties, KeyNavigation and FocusScopeQt Quick Positioning and explore subjects like Anchors, Positioners, Layouts and FlowQt Quick on Mobile Devices: we take you on a detailed journey on how to run your Qt Quick Apps on Android and guide you on how you would do the same on IoS.
