Qt's Meta Object System - Video

We are now going to put QML aside for a little while. It's time to go back to C++ and learn about the most important class in Qt, QObject.

QObject implements a huge number of features: properties, events, signals and slots, automatic memory management and much more. In this module we are going to explore how they work and how they map to all the QML knowledge that we have built so far.

We'll kickstart this module by discussing what the parent/child relationship entails for QObjects and how Qt's Meta Object System works in order to "enhance" what C++ gives us in terms of object introspection and reflection.
