Course Description
Write once, build anywhere – Qt runs on virtually anything. You probably have applications built with Qt running on your computer, smart phone, television, and other electronics.
No experience necessary, this is a beginners course that will teach you the foundations of both Qt 5 and C++. This course is meant as a direct replacement for an introduction to C++ class. This course starts off with simple topics such as "what is a variable" and ends with some basic Qt classes and how to work with them. The main focus of this course is to get the student a solid foundation to move forward from. At the end of this course you will be able to create basic applications using C++ and Qt 5. This course overs Qt 5. Because Qt 6 has so many changes, I will re-record these lessons using Qt 6 and place them into a different course, check my instructor profile for updates.
We will start with basic foundational concepts such as variables and each section moves into more complex topics such as templates, classes, error handling and how to use some of the Qt 5 classes includes in the core library. This course uses C++ and Qt Creator which is the best IDE for developing cross platform applications using Qt that can run on Windows, Mac, Linux, embedded devices such as a raspberry pi, iPhone and Android.
This is the starting point for all other Qt 5 courses on that are available on Udemy.
Qt 5 Core Intermediate
Qt 5 Core Advanced
Qt 5 Widgets
Qt 5 QML
Qt 5 Design Patterns

Ich hatte schon einige Zeit nicht mehr mit C++ zu tun gehabt und war nun mit C++ und Qt konfrontiert. Da kam der Refresh der C++ Grundlagen gerade recht, hatte sich doch einiges getan in der Zeit. Die Einbindung von Qt, als wäre dies das normalste der Welt, ist eine optimale Methode, sich Qt anzueignen und zu lernen, damit umzugehen.

Il y a trop de C++ et les spécificités de base de Qt pas assez abordées. Je m'attendais avoir des explications sur le fonctionnement de QApplication, QObject, plutôt que des chapitres sur l'algorithmie.
By Eric Gorr on 11/21/2020
The Qt tidbits spread throughout the course make it worthwhile and serve as an important foundation for the rest of Qt. I believe it would make for a better course if the focus was on Qt itself and covering the IDE in detail rather than spending the time it does on teaching basic C++ concepts. Sections for getting setup and running on the three major OSs (Mac, llnux, Windows) would be useful additions as well.

Very little Qt-specific, more of a general, very basic C++ introduction.
By Cesar Montero on 11/7/2020
im a beginner in C++ and in Qt so this matches my needs
By Scott Rise on 11/7/2020
This course was a good match for me. I think it would be a bit beyond someone with absolutely zero programming experience, but if you already know a bit of C++ it's appropriate.
By Vinicius REIS on 10/26/2020
The course is not only about Qt, it spends a good amount of time going through the basics of c++ and a bit of its ecosystem. If you are experienced in c++ but have no Qt, you might want to skip some chapters. Nevertheless the instructor is very good, his effort in structuring the course in noticeable, and the course, provided it fits your expectations, is certainly a good purchase.

I am a second-year college students currently enrolled in a C++ class. This past summer, July 2020, I took the Qt Core for Beginners with C++ course on your site. It was this course that has allowed me to have 880/100 (Grade A in my college course. I recommend this course to beginners. I am an electrical engineering student at Texas Southern University. Thank you, Sean (son of A. Jones).
