Qt 5 QML For Beginners: The Fundamentals

🌟 Qt 5 QML For Beginners: Build Cross Platform Fluid And Dynamic UIs 🌟

Course Headline:

Build Cross Platform Fluid And Dynamic UIs. Run Them on Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, iOS and Embedded.

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.

🎉 Course Description:

Qt Quick (QML) is the state-of-the-art technology from the Qt Framework, designed to build slick looking, fluid, dynamic, and cross-platform User Interfaces that can run on mobile devices (Android, iOS, touch devices - embedded), as well as any major desktop platform out there (Linux, Windows, Mac). Qt Quick can be used to build standalone applications but 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 straightforward, easy-to-understand demos, carefully designed to help you master a given Qt Quick UI development topic at hand.

👩‍💻 Target Student:

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 be equally useful to both designers willing to jump into Qt Quick and existing C++ developers wanting to level up their skills in fluid UI design.
