Summary

This chapter was an introduction to Qt Creator more than it was anything else, and that is exactly what we need in order to comfortably proceed with the next chapters, concentrating on building things instead of repetitive instructions and configuration tips and hints. We learned how to use Qt Creator to design user interfaces and write code for the user interfaces. We were introduced to some of the most widely used Qt classes and how they are packed in different modules. By learning about different Qt Creator modes and building an application at the same time, we can now practice more by ourselves and even improve the application we wrote. The next chapter will be the chapter where we build the skeleton of an extendable plugin-based computer vision application that will continue almost for the rest of the book, until the very last chapters. In the next chapter, we'll learn about different design patterns in Qt and OpenCV and how we can use similar patterns to build applications...
