Q: How did you become an author for Packt? Tell us about your journey. What was your motivation for writing this book?
Nibedit: I had reviewed several technical books related to C++ and Qt for Packt. I found the books on Qt missed some important sections that were required for end-to-end learning.

When Ashish Tiwari from Packt, approached me to author a book on Qt 6, I found it to be a suitable time to attempt to be an author.

Q: Why should readers choose this book over others already on the market? How would you differentiate your book from its competition?
