Robust Qt & C++ Gui Programming 2D Graphics App Tutorial

Course Overview

Become a confident Qt GUI and C++ software developer with step by step programming tutorials and 2D graphics examples


What youll learn:

Create a robust well designed C++ app with Qt in a bottom-up approach
Use some of Qt toolkits out-of-the-box functionality to build a Windows app
Draw very interesting and quite unusual 2D geometrical shapes ☆
Develop a C++ program from scratch
Drag and drop UI elements to design a simple GUI (graphical user interface)
Learn to debug your Qt apps
Learn to write scalable robust and adaptable source code
Use source versioning with Git and SourceTree to commit code changes to online repositories
Use the Qt signal and slots mechanism to handle user interface events

As Ive put my heart and soul into producing this course I understand its no longer up to date with the Qt platform
But it does still have valuable insights into robust app design so I believe youll find quite a bunch of useful stuff in here
Heres what others have to say about this course:
"Great course Instructions are clear and accurate Dan logically teaches how to build an app from the simplest parts to the harder ones Tasks for you to complete are getting a little bit bigger every time and you dont feel lost between instructions and the tasks as they are connected to each other (unlike in many other courses) Even though for me this course wasnt hard it was useful and I enjoyed it very much After finishing the course I found out that there are new videos and new tasks! Thats awesome! I like that course is being improved!" -
Kateryna Brylliantova
"One of the best courses I ever had Very well structured very good program structure and complexity of the application The explanation should be an example for many ohter teachers A big and real triple-AThank You Dan" -
Matthias Kunka
"Well thought out and paced I have learned quite a few interesting points on robust code" -
Asad Raja
"I felt this was a very good course for intermediary C++ programmers It has some easy to follow for the novice sections but also plenty for the seasoned programmer" -
Gino Manifred
C++ is a very powerful and versatile programming language
Qt is multi-platformframeworkthe perfect choice for open sourceGUI development with C++
Before investing in this course pleasewatch the
FREE
lectures (30 minutes)to:
see the final app in action (check out the Final App DEMOlesson)
decide if this course is really theright onefor you
With this courseyou will design and create your own C++ programfor the Windows platform
You will add new features to the appstep by step
You will learnhow to write
good source
code atprofessional-level
You can learn programming in C++ from anyone you wish to there are many teachers anda lot of free know-howout there
But if you want to learn to code like a professional heres my advice to you:
Choose to learn from someone who has already done professional level coding
Choose a teacher who has a proven track record working experience with C++ and Qt
Choose a mentor who has done this for years and knows what it takes to create industry-level software
Heres how the course is structured Each lecture prepares the groundwork for the next oneYou will:
write code in C++ (standard 03)
use theQt toolkits UI elements to create the GUI (Graphical User Interface)
set up the main application window
drag and drop the requireduser interface elements (buttons widgets labels spinners) on the main window
connect UI elements to UI events (mouse clicks value changed)
write custom event handling code that updates the painted graphic
You need to have a goodunderstanding of OOP (Object Oriented Programming)fundamentals as youwill beadding and working with:
class member variables
class member functions
setters & getters
private & public & protected access modifiers
encapsulation to protect the data
constructors and destructors
overriding virtual base class functions for Qtobjects
pointers to objects
You will
organize the C++program logic
into header (h) and implementation (cpp) source files
You will
design a simpleGUI
(Graphical User Interface) with QtCreator (part of the Qt toolkit) and use the
signal and slots
mechanism to make thebuttons (and other UIelements)respond to mouse clicks or value changedevents
You will setup a
custom rendering area
widget that integrates flawlessly with the Qt5 frameworkby inheriting from the QWidget base class and overriding abstract class methods
You wil learn how to
fix compiler errors
that can occur during development
You will also
learn to fix linker errors
caused by missing function implementations
You will use a bottom-up approach to
develop robustsoftware

Notice the key word here - robust
That means professional-level C++ code
You will learn to design reusableprograms with programs will be designed with reusability in mind And will be written with future upgrade capabilities in mind
You will also use Math and Geometry in an unexpectedwayto
create unusual2D graphics shapes

You will also get some hands-on experience by taking the
courseassignments

The assignmentsaredesigned to get you comfortable with the code and teach you to
extend the application
on your ownafter you have completed the course
Should I go on or do you want to start learning now?
Ive investedaround 10 years into learning software development and have worked 7 years in the ITindustry
Ok here are a few more things you will get from it:
How to
create an online repository
(with BitBucket)
How to use
source versioning
(with GIT) to save intermediary code changes and revert back to them anytime if you make a mistake
Tips and tricks for
good coding practices

So come on lets start creating some 2D graphics with
Qt5 And C++ Gui Programming!
