Qt 6 C++ GUI Development for Beginners : The Fundamentals

Welcome to Qt 6 C++ GUI Development for Beginners. Qt is a cross platform application development framework. It can be used to build Graphical User interfaces that can run on Windows, Mac Linux , mobile platforms like android and ios, even embedded devices.

This course will focus on using Qt Widgets to build robust cross platform desktop applications capable of running well on major desktop Operating Systems like Windows , Mac and Linux. While Qt Widgets can technically run both on mobile and embedded, it's better and less painful to use QML, another technology provided by the Qt framework. If you want to target mobile and embedded, then please check our courses on QML and Qt Quick.

This course doesn't QML , Mobile or embedded. The course assumes no prior knowledge of Graphical User Interface Development and even provides a C++ refresher crash course for those in need of a helping hand to get up and running with C++ within the Qt environment. By the time you are done with the course, you'll not only be armed with knowledge you could use to build basic to intermediate Graphical user interfaces, but you will also have enough momentum to use the documentation to even learn more on your own.

As with my other courses, I use every chance I get to show you how to use the documentation to find solutions on your own and faster. Let's take a look at the content of the course. We start with a complete beginner to both C++ and Qt in mind, and we take you through the the process of getting your environment set up on your platform of choice:We do a live install of Qt Creator on WindowsWe do a live install of Qt Creator on LinuxWe guide you though how you would install Qt Creator on a MacWe then take you on a tour of the C++ programming language, covering the concepts deemed important to start working with Qt to build your shinny GUI applications.
