Welcome to Qt Academy

In this course, you'll gain a comprehensive understanding of different macros used for specific integration use-cases. You will learn about registration of non-object type. In some cases the types that need to be registered to QML are defined in files that cannot be modified to add registration macros. This can be the case if the types belong to third-party libraries. For such cases, you'll learn how to use registration of foreign types. You'll also learn to register C++ types in QML system as an interface and to use extension objects, which allows limited extension possibilities.

This course is for individuals who are looking to get a better understanding of different macros used for specific integration use-cases. Completion of the course requires prior knowledge of C++ and QML integration covered in the QML Integration Basic and QML Integration Intermediate courses.

In this course, you will deepen your understanding of integrating C++ with QML by exploring advanced techniques such as singletons, non-instantiable types, and enumerators. By the end of this course, you will be well-equipped to implement more complex and flexible C++/QML interactions, allowing for a seamless blend of C++ backend functionality with QML front-end designs.

This course was updated in October 2024 to continually improve course content and address feedback from the Qt Community.

In this course, you will explore integrating C++ with QML to create Qt applications. You will learn how to bridge the gap between the QML front-end and the C++ back-end, enabling you to leverage the strengths of both languages.

This course was updated in April 2025 to continually improve course content and address feedback from the Qt Community. 

Change Log:

• Updated section explaining the include file for QML Type registration.
• Added snippet explaining use of QtQmlIntegration header for using the QML_ELEMENT Macro
• Refined explanation of the required arguments for using QML_PROPERTY
• Fixed wording on qmltypes recap in the step-by-step to be more explicit about its use.

In this course, you will launch the Qt Creator IDE for the first time, go through its basic views, and create a new project that you can use to try out some of the basic functionalities.

This course is for anyone interested in writing software with Qt Creator. To get the most out of this course, you should have some development experience and understand the basic software development concepts. You don't need any previous knowledge of Qt.

This course was updated in February 2025 to continually improve course content and address feedback from the Qt Community. 

Change Log:

• Fixed links at end of the course
• Added zoom to videos so UI elements are easier to read
• Added additional links at end of course to topics identified in feedback

In this course, we'll install Qt using the Qt Online Installer. 

This course is for anyone interested in using Qt who is at the beginning of their journey. It covers both commercial and open-source Qt installations.

This course was updated in July 2025 to continually improve course content and address feedback from the Qt Community. 

Change Log:

• Improved installation guide with development environment-specific guidance. 
• Improved layout and flow of information for download and installation.
• Rearanged links in places so reading is easier.
• Updated some imagery

Our course, Getting Started with Qt Design Studio, is the second module in our FYI Frontend Learning Track, Getting Started With UI Design.

In it, you will learn about:

• What Design Studio is and why it is a powerful tool supporting the collaboration of designers and developers 
• How to launch the Qt Design Studio for the first time, go through its basic views, and create a new project that you can use to try out some of the basic functionalities
