- Course Introduction3:38
This course spans for 6 weeks so basic idea is to complete two modules every week .
For Week 1 , we will be covering
- Module 1: Overview of Qt
- Module 2: Object Models in Qt
So lets get started with the first module
- Setting up the Development Environment4:21
he Qt SDK installer can be downloaded from here.(choose appropriate installer for your OS) This video is a step by step tutorial to help you set up the Qt development environment and to try and run your first Qt application
- Writing your first Qt application3:41
Now your development environment should be up and running , now you are all set to start by writing your first application in Qt.
This video is a short tutorial to write a simple Qt program and then try to walk through the code to understand as to what actually goes in the background.It also covers some information about the qmake utility tool.
- My first Qt application9:10
Create a basic cross-platform Qt application by initializing QApplication, displaying a main window with a central label, and building with a Qt project file generated by qmake.
- Basics of layouts and Signals & Slots12:19
In this we will start with very basics of layouts we will use a horizontal layout and a vertical layout and will pack the UI widgets inside these layouts. We will then try out the Qt signals and slots feature.
Summary
At the end of this module you would have setup your development environment and would have written your first Qt application. You would have also understood the basic concepts of layouts and would have some idea about Qt's signal and slots feature.
If you are interested i would recommend that you follow the Qt Blog , as it's one place where you will find all Qt development posts from Qt Experts.
It will also be a good if you would join the Qt public mailing lists , i would recommend Interest(List for developers who _use_ Qt) and Qt Creator(List for users and developers of Qt Creator).
- Object Models in Qt26:57
In this video we will try to look into Qt Basic Types and how Qt handles strings.
Summary
In this module we have learnt the internals of Qt Object model , how to create custom Qt signals and slots and how to have our custom type to integrate with Qt Object model such that it can be used as a parameter in signals and slots. We have looked into the moc tool and how Qt supports these features.
If you have any questions, please ask via the the forum.
- Coding Task 11:13
- Qt Basic Types & Strings6:21
In this video we will try to look into Qt Basic Types and how Qt handles strings.
- Qt Core Classes8:00
Explore the Qt core classes, focusing on the io device abstraction for reading and writing, including open, read, seek, and close operations for files and other data sources.
- Qt Container Classes7:30
Explore Qt container classes, including hash tables, maps, sets, lists, and dynamic arrays, and learn memory management with implicit sharing, deep copies, and assignable types for efficient cross platform development.
- Qt Containers Algorithmic Complexity2:54
We will take a look at Algorithmic Complexity of Qt Containers in this video.
Know Thy Complexities! : Covers the space and time Big-O complexities of common algorithms used in Computer Science.
- Short introduction to Qt GUI8:44
Explore the Qt GUI framework for cross-platform applications by examining widgets, desktops, system tray icons, and dialogs; learn the model-view-controller pattern and internationalization capabilities.
- Introduction to Qt Widgets2:55
Explore how Qt widgets act as base classes, manage dialogs, and customize behavior with subclassing, event handling, and size logic to control show, hide, and actions.
- Built In Qt Widgets - Lets go through the built in widgets provided by Qt8:54
Understand built-in Qt widgets—from push buttons, toolbars, and radio buttons to labels, text edits, and scroll bars—plus dialogs, file and date-time pickers, and progress or message dialogs for responsive interfaces.
