In this video, you will learn about communicating between two threads using Qt signals and slots and what is really happening under the hood when you do that. With the help of didactic diagrams, you will learn different ways to set this all up, including possible pitfalls.

This video provides answers to the following questions: Can you call methods on an object shared between threads? Can you call the same method in different objects? What about QObject, is it thread-safe?

If you think bool is atomic (and therefore needs no mutex) or if you think volatile is useful in multithreaded programs, you should watch this video. Also, you will learn two different ways to implement asking for a QThread's run() method to finish.

After a short presentation of a QThread without an event loop, this video will tell you about threads with an event loop. This allows handling events for objects in secondary threads, which is necessary in order to be able to call slots on these objects.The video then presents two different ways to do this: creating both the thread and the worker at the same level, or encapsulating the thread into the worker.

In this video, you will learn about the three ways to create threads in Qt (did you know about QThread::create?). You will also learn how to wait for threads to finish, what can and cannot be done in a secondary thread, and how to properly destruct QObjects used in threads.

This video introduces the series, defines multithreading, and advises on the things you should know or learn before watching this video series.

This KDE community retrospective explores development culture from 20 years ago, emphasizing community spirit and fun facts. It shares initial KDE culture with current generations, including surprising development practices (pre-CVS version control) and highlights how architectural elements now considered fixed were once subject to greater creativity, potentially encouraging renewed innovation.
