Qt Tips and Tricks
summary
Practical list of ~20–30 concrete Qt techniques: use Q_PROPERTY/Q_DECLARE_METATYPE and QMetaObject::invokeMethod for runtime calls and IPC, register types for QVariant and streaming, implement implicit sharing with QSharedData/QSharedDataPointer, wrap existing trees via QAbstractItemModel (example: widget-tree browser in ~113 lines), draw widgets/delegates with QStyle, speed things with iterators and QImage vs QPixmap tradeoffs, enable QNetworkAccessManager + QNetworkDiskCache, parallelize with QtConcurrent::blockingMapped, and unit-test GUI behavior using QTest and QSignalSpy.
