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

Description

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.

Who is this book 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

Essendo ipovedente gravissimo adoro le pubblicazioni in formato Kindle che oltre a tutti gli altri vantaggi mi consentono di leggere su grande schermo ed a colori invertiti qualsiasi testo.Non essendo uno scripter phyton questa collezzione mi consente di sviluppare soluzioni pronte per i miei piccoli progetti per cui l'uso del computer e l'automazione sono indispensabili

This is strictly a tkinter tutorial, not a reference book. It begins with the most basic information and then moves on from there. If you have been trying to learn tkinter and you are pulling your hair out trying to pick up bits and pieces from the Internet, get this book, start with chapter 1, and work through it. I wish I had done that a couple of weeks ago!The most aggravating thing about the book is that it only shows bits and pieces of the code, but you can download all the code and follow along in your favorite editor. (The correct address for download is given on page 12; earlier instructions on page 4 are wrong.)

Not what I had hoped for, but can't say that it was a complete waste of time - I'll admit that I picked up a few things from the book/author but not enough to justify a $25+ price tag.The book is essentially a series of1) A Topic Title2) 2, maybe 3 sentences explaining the topic3) A "Getting ready" section w/ a few sentences providing an overview of what will be done.(Here, you could try to come up w/ a solution on your own before seeing the author's solution)4) A "How to do it" section consisting of 1 or so pages of code (there isn't a single program in this book, just snippets that will run)5) A "How it works" section w/ 2, maybe 3 small paragraphs (sentences in some cases) somewhat briefly brushing over the codeREPEAT W/ ANOTHER TOPICI've done some GUI programming in college classes so I had an idea as to how objects are added and how classes are constructed, and so on. I was expecting to see introduction-type material in the beginning, but hoping for advanced topics/examples or in-depth explanations towards the end. That didn't happen.This is more of a "Get Started Quickly w/ tkinter" type book than anything else: Read this, understand what is possible and understand just enough of how tkinter works so you can work with the official documentation.This book could have been 1/3 shorter. I read the first few chapters w/ care and skimmed through the rest b/c I got bored w/ the repetitiveness. DRY was certainly not taken into account as there is a lot of needless repetition (filler). It could have done w/out the Testing information and all of chapter 11. These are very important topics and they deserve a thorough explanation, which this book did not offer. The way it was included in the book was pointless and a disservice to readers.

Not really a cookbook. It's more of a tutorial. All the code is written in short snippets, so if you want to build anything you have to keep going back to previous chapters. I was hoping for a reference book for Tkinter widgets, that is not this book. Author does not go into very many widgets and the ones he does talk about are incomplete. At one point he states that the canvas widget is really cool and you should go on line and research what it does! That is what I thought the book was for. If I go online why do I need this book. Author does seem knowledgeable and I did learn some things from this book. I don't think I will ever go back to this book as a reference.

this text shows us how to construct an empty GUI that does nothing except demonstrate how the devices operate. i would call this a sampler (which shows that a device a works) but not a cookbook (which ought to supply short recipes of devices actually doing something useful). at the end of these exercises we have a complex piece of code in which most of the graphic user devices are shown as examples, but it is difficult to extract that section of code to employ in some other program which needs this function for some other purpose.
