- Qt allows you to write advanced applications and UIs once, and deploy them
- across desktop and embedded operating systems without rewriting the source
- code. The top section of this page provides an overview of the tools and
- techniques used in Qt application development. Still, you might want to add
- platform-specific features to your code. The bottom section of the page
- links to documents that describe platform-specific features provided by Qt,
- and discuss issues related to particular platforms and environments.
