Qt Quick Application Developer Guide for Desktop guides you through the entire process of developing a feature-rich application that you can deploy onto various desktop platforms. This guide walks you through the implementation of a simple application called, NoteApp, inspired by the modern fluid UIs. NoteApp is a tool for managing daily notes. It uses various advanced UI concepts including animations, database storage, and JavaScript usage for application logic rather than common well-known UI Elements used in desktop applications, such as toolbars, menus, and dialogs. | Qt Quick Application Developer Guide for Desktop guides you through the entire process of developing a feature-rich application that you can deploy onto various desktop platforms.
