Are you sick of writing the perfect code only to have no hits? Does it seem like users aren't smart enough to take advantage of your functions? This book offers some exceptional mitigation strategies using the QT6 system to magnify your C++ powers. Get past the basics with style sheets, color suggestions and detailed tips to make the UIs equally effective whether you are developing for the laptop or for a mobile interface. My favorite was Chapter 9, building a touch screen application. We all think about the basic keyboard inputs for the user but migrating into the modern touchscreen is a clear win. Recommend for anyone needing more depth and breadth in their C++ applications.

I had the opportunity to read the eBook, the contents were great not just for someone who has prior experience with Qt and C++ but also for beginners. This book covers the entire workflow needed to create an application using C++ and Qt: programming best practices, multithreading, database management, networking and many more. I would recommend this book as a great reference for anyone that works with C++ applications.

As a seasoned C++ developer, I recently picked up the “Qt 6 C++ GUI Programming Cookbook - Third Edition” and found it incredibly useful. The book stands out for its comprehensive and practical examples that are directly applicable to real-world scenarios. Additionally, it provides excellent coverage of the latest Qt 6 features, ensuring you’re up-to-date with current advancements.However, some sections could benefit from more in-depth explanations. Despite this, the book remains a fantastic resource for both beginners and experienced developers. Four stars!

Book Review: Qt 6 C++ GUI Programming Cookbook by Lee Zhi EngThis book offers the reader practical examples and solutions for modern GUI development using Qt 6 framework.It includes examples and solutions for GUI applications using Qt Widgets and QML.The explanation for each example is clear, concise but covers important details as well and is organized as 'How To' and 'How it Works' sections with a section explaining more details wherever it is appropriate.The book begins with simple but detailed UI design using both Qt Widgets and QML and gradually transition to more complex concepts like Animation, Drawing using QPainter, OpenGL.This book is just not about GUI programming using Qt6, it covers other important and complex concepts such as Multithreaded Programming, Asynchronous Programming, Network Programming, Accessing Databases, Web Application development using GUI based examples to showcase ease of use and capabilities offered by Qt6 framework.This book requires reader to have some familiarity with C++ and Qt framework be it Qt 4/5. Some chapters such as using OpenGL with Qt may not be intuitive if reader is nor familiar with Graphics Programming in general and specifically OpenGL.In Summary, 'Qt 6 C++ GUI Programming Cookbook' is a well-structured guide that can help GUI Developers/GUI Designers to develop attractive application with Qt 6. This book could be a great starting point for someone considering to dive into Qt 6 for GUI development.
