Writing Your First Qt Application

Now that we have built our target and set up our host development system, it is time to get down to actually writing a Qt application!

In this chapter, we will develop, test, and debug a Qt application using just the host computer. Qt is a cross-platform framework—we can write, test, and debug major portions of the code on the host.

You can work through this chapter without target hardware and without having completed cross-compilation of Qt.

The following topics will be covered in this chapter:

  • Qt Creator—the Qt IDE
  • Greetings from Qt—your first Qt application
  • Who are you?—adding features to the code
  • Fixing a mistake—testing and debugging with Qt Creator
  • Digging deeper—a closer look at some topics
