Modern User Interfaces for C++
summary
Qt is a modern C++ UI stack that delivers both traditional widgets for data-heavy desktop apps and GPU-accelerated QML/Qt Quick for fluid, touch-first interfaces, with real deployments (KMail, Krita, Spotify client, Sailfish/BlackBerry/Ubuntu phones). Uses code generators (moc, uic, rcc) for reflection, UI glue and resource embedding; modern signal/slot syntax accepts lambdas with minimal overhead. KDE Frameworks supplies ~184 extra libraries; example build: heaptrack UI — model in ~1 hour, UI in ~5 minutes — and it runs cross-platform.
