Qt C++ Programming

Duration: 5 Days

Intended Audience

Attendees are expected to have sound C++ programming experience. The purpose of the course is to provide delegates with the knowledge and skills needed to implement sophisticated Qt GUI applications

Synopsis

Qt is a rich, cross platform capable, framework for implementing powerful Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs). Qt is particularly useful when developing GUIs for embedded, control systems and robotics applications.

Prerequisites

This course assumes reasonable familiarity with C++. Detailed knowledge of GUI design and implementation is not required, and relevant guidelines and idioms will be covered on the course.

The class involves a lot of practical work, so delegates should come along prepared to get coding. The course will use the GNU C++ compiler and Eclipse.
