Key benefits

  • Extensively revised with new content on RESTful networking, classes in Tkinter, and the Notebook widget
  • Take advantage of Tkinter’s lightweight, portable, and easy-to-use features
  • Build better-organized code and learn to manage an evolving codebase

Description

Tkinter is widely used to build GUIs in Python due to its simplicity. In this book, you’ll discover Tkinter’s strengths and overcome its challenges as you learn to develop fully featured GUI applications. Python GUI Programming with Tkinter, Second Edition, will not only provide you with a working knowledge of the Tkinter GUI library, but also a valuable set of skills that will enable you to plan, implement, and maintain larger applications. You’ll build a full-blown data entry application from scratch, learning how to grow and improve your code in response to continually changing user and business needs. You’ll develop a practical understanding of tools and techniques used to manage this evolving codebase and go beyond the default Tkinter widget capabilities. You’ll implement version control and unit testing, separation of concerns through the MVC design pattern, and object-oriented programming to organize your code more cleanly. You’ll also gain experience with technologies often used in workplace applications, such as SQL databases, network services, and data visualization libraries. Finally, you’ll package your application for wider distribution and tackle the challenge of maintaining cross-platform compatibility.

Who is this book for?

This book is for programmers who understand the syntax of Python, but do not yet have the skills, techniques, and knowledge to design and implement a complete software application. A fair grasp of basic Python syntax is required.

What you will learn

  • Produce well-organized, functional, and responsive GUI applications
  • Extend the functionality of existing widgets using classes and OOP
  • Plan wisely for the expansion of your app using MVC and version control
  • Make sure your app works as intended through widget validation and unit testing
  • Use tools and processes to analyze and respond to user requests
  • Become familiar with technologies used in workplace applications, including SQL, HTTP, Matplotlib, threading, and CSV
  • Use PostgreSQL authentication to ensure data security for your application

As a user of Python for data science this book was interesting from the point of view of learning how to use Python to create GUI applications.The author (Alan Moore) does a good job in presenting a lot! (600+ pages) of content. Across 16 chapters, starting with an introduction in which installation, IDLE, and the ubiquitous "Hello World" is implemented, the book takes the reader through basic form controls, menus, styles and themes, and a very useful chapter on packaging and deployment (handily for both Mac and Windows). This ordering of chapters is spot on as it gradually builds the readers knowledge. There is also a useful short summary at the end of each chapter, but no “test your knowledge” questions. The book is written in a clear style so it is easy to follow. At first glance, some chapters do feel ever so slightly out of place (e.g. “Improving Data Storage with SQL”, “Connecting to the Cloud”) but dig deeper and you see that they are actually quite usefulFor anyone wanting to learn how to develop GUIs using Python, this book is a must.

Vorweg: es wird vermutlich etwas hart, wenn man gar keine Programmierersprache vorher kannte. Ich konnte bereits eine objektorientierte Sprache und fand mich schnell wieder.Das Buch ist super. Die Hinweisboxen treffen genau die Fragen und Probleme die ich beim Durchlesen des Kapitels hatte. Das Niveau zieht am Anfang gut an und bleibt auf einem gesunden level während alles Neue vermittelt wird.Habe es nur zu einem Drittel durch aber bin bisher begeistert.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter. The new chapters are automatically added to your account, so you can also check back there any time you're ready and download or read them online.

Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created. With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.
