Over 80 object-oriented recipes to help you create mind-blowing GUIs in Python About This Book • Use object-oriented programming to develop amazing GUIs in Python • Create a working GUI project as a central resource for developing your Python GUIs • Packed with easy-to-follow recipes to help you develop code using the latest released version of Python Who This Book Is For If you are a Python programmer with intermediate level knowledge of GUI programming and want to learn how to create beautiful, effective, and responsive GUIs using the freely available Python GUI frameworks, this book is for you. What You Will Learn • Create amazing GUIs with Python's built-in Tkinter module • Customize the GUIs by using layout managers to arrange the GUI widgets • Advance to an object-oriented programming style using Python • Develop beautiful charts using the free Matplotlib Python module • Use threading in a networked environment to make the GUIs responsive • Discover ways to connect the GUIs to a database • Understand how unit tests can be created and internationalize the GUI • Extend the GUIs with free Python frameworks using best practices In Detail Python is a multi-domain, interpreted programming language. It is a widely used general-purpose, high-level programming language. It is often used as a scripting language because of its forgiving syntax and compatibility with a wide variety of different eco-systems. Its flexible syntax enables developers to write short scripts while at the same time, they can use object-oriented concepts to develop very large projects. Python GUI Programming Cookbook follows a task-based approach to help you create beautiful and very effective GUIs with the least amount of code necessary. This book uses the simplest programming style, using the fewest lines of code to create a GUI in Python, and then advances to using object-oriented programming in later chapters. If you are new to object-oriented programming (OOP), this book will teach you how to take advantage of the OOP coding style in the context of creating GUIs written in Python. Throughout the book, you will develop an entire GUI application, building recipe upon recipe, connecting the GUI to a database. In the later chapters, you will explore additional Python GUI frameworks, using best practices. You will also learn how to use threading to ensure your GUI doesn't go unresponsive. By the end of the book, you will be an expert in Python GUI programming to develop a common set of GUI applications. Style and approach Every recipe in this programming cookbook solves a problem you might encounter in your programming career. At the same time, most of the recipes build on each other to create an entire, real-life GUI application.

Master over 80 object-oriented recipes to create amazing GUIs in Python and revolutionize your applications today About This Book • Use object-oriented programming to develop amazing GUIs in Python • Create a working GUI project as a central resource for developing your Python GUIs • Easy-to-follow recipes to help you develop code using the latest released version of Python Who This Book Is For This book is for intermediate Python programmers who wish to enhance their Python skills by writing powerful GUIs in Python. As Python is such a great and easy to learn language, this book is also ideal for any developer with experience of other languages and enthusiasm to expand their horizon. What You Will Learn • Create the GUI Form and add widgets • Arrange the widgets using layout managers • Use object-oriented programming to create GUIs • Create Matplotlib charts • Use threads and talking to networks • Talk to a MySQL database via the GUI • Perform unit-testing and internationalizing the GUI • Extend the GUI with third-party graphical libraries • Get to know the best practices to create GUIs In Detail Python is a multi-domain, interpreted programming language. It is a widely used general-purpose, high-level programming language. It is often used as a scripting language because of its forgiving syntax and compatibility with a wide variety of different eco-systems. Python GUI Programming Cookbook follows a task-based approach to help you create beautiful and very effective GUIs with the least amount of code necessary. This book will guide you through the very basics of creating a fully functional GUI in Python with only a few lines of code. Each and every recipe adds more widgets to the GUIs we are creating. While the cookbook recipes all stand on their own, there is a common theme running through all of them. As our GUIs keep expanding, using more and more widgets, we start to talk to networks, databases, and graphical libraries that greatly enhance our GUI's functionality. This book is what you need to expand your knowledge on the subject of GUIs, and make sure you're not missing out in the long run. Style and approach This programming cookbook consists of standalone recipes, and this approach makes it unique.. While each recipe explains a certain concept, throughout the book you'll build a more and more advanced GUI, recipe after recipe. In some of the advanced topics, we simply create a new GUI in order to explore these topics in depth.
