Engineering courses

Build the whole stack.
Firmware to interface.

Squared Academy teaches the engineering most courses skip: embedded firmware, displays and HMI, modern C++, Qt and QML, and shipping the result to every platform. Real projects, taught by people who do this for a living.

Taught by someone who ships

Courses are led by Daniel Gakwaya.

Daniel is a Founder and Senior Software Engineer at Squared Computing. He has been writing software since 2011 and Qt is one of his favorite frameworks. Many of his cross platform Qt based projects are completed and out there on the market. Autodidact by nature ,he has a passion for learning new things and loves sharing knowledge with others. Especially people new to the dark art of software development.

Every course is built around a real project you finish and keep, and the code tracks Qt6 and modern C++ rather than the legacy patterns most tutorials still teach.

Questions get answered. Support turns around within a day, from people who build this software for a living.

What students say

Got me from zero Qt knowledge to building production apps in six weeks. The project-based approach made everything click.

verified student

The best Qt courses I've found. The teaching is clear and the projects are actually useful at work.

verified student

The first course I've found that actually teaches Qt well, after a shelf of books that didn't.
