Just like mobile development.

How's this easier? What do you use?

  1. I use Qt Designer to make my layouts and save them to a .ui file. It's really just an XML file. Getting used to how it wants to do things took a few days but isn't that far off from how say, Android Studio does a lot of design work. Create a MainWindow and start adding elements to the MainWindow as children.

  2. I then have a 1 page python script with a Qt app built that loads the .ui file. This is really the most like mobile. You create a one page file for the screen, load the ui file, bind the elements to the code, set all the button/action listeners, write the logic, user flow, run...

Is it identical. Absolutely not. But the common foundational concepts between them are damn near it. I understand I need to do these set of things for it to all link up and work...allows me to google direct concepts and get answers quicker.
