Qt is much more than just a cross-platform SDK-it’s a technology strategy that

lets you quickly and cost-effectively design, develop, deploy, and maintain
software while delivering a seamless user experience across all devices. Easily
create connected devices, UIs and applications with native C++
performance, Write your source code once, build and watch it run on any
operating system and hardware. It’s truly cross-platform, Embrace the
complete freedom to design tomorrow’s UIs. Use drag-and-drop tools,
declarative QML or imperative C++ — the choice is yours, You can design
your UI, write your code and much more in one cross-platform IDE.

(other .cpp, .h and .ui files will also be created).
