Description

Tkinter is the built-in GUI package that comes with standard Python distributions. It is a cross-platform package, which means you build once and deploy everywhere. It is simple to use and intuitive in nature, making it suitable for programmers and non-programmers alike. This book will help you master the art of GUI programming. It delivers the bigger picture of GUI programming by building real-world, productive, and fun applications such as a text editor, drum machine, game of chess, audio player, drawing application, piano tutor, chat application, screen saver, port scanner, and much more. In every project, you will build on the skills acquired in the previous project and gain more expertise. You will learn to write multithreaded programs, network programs, database-driven programs, asyncio based programming and more. You will also get to know the modern best practices involved in writing GUI apps. With its rich source of sample code, you can build upon the knowledge gained with this book and use it in your own projects in the discipline of your choice.

On chapter 3 at the moment. A good, well written, easy to follow, tutorial book. Not for the beginner, but as a next step, it fills the gaps in knowledge well.

I haven't even bought this book yet, but ALREADY it has fixed a problem with Tkinter for me. I was trying to change the color of text in a Label widget, but I couldn't find any way to do it no matter what I tried, and furthermore NO ONE could tell me how to do it, NO ONE. Oh, there was LOTS of advice, with "working" code examples, NONE of which worked. Finally, I just happened to skim through the "Look Inside" for this book, and LO AND BEHOLD, the author explains simply and concisely, what I was doing wrong and how to do it correctly. Admittedly I'm a beginner with Tkinter and Python itself, but still, no one could tell me what was wrong until I found this book.

The kindle version is a reasonable price but the paper one is overpriced imho. Takes you stepwise through tkinter functionality with explanations. With the source download you can play around with every example. It's good to have a unified source of information but I still need to Google specific questions. There are a variety of applications, again built stepwise. I have not had time yet to look deeply into these but I believe dipping into them shows you how to do more. I do have a minor criticism that there is a lot of time spent using the 'pack' geometry manager and then immediately after and in one exercise only the author says you should better use 'grid'. My experiments show that tkinter does not allow you to mix these two methods. Perhaps it would have been better from the very start to use grid? Overall glad I bought it but don't ignore video channels like codemy...

Bought this book from Amazon. Although I am a registered customer from the PacktPub publisher, I am unable to download, or even request that they send me the example code files.I can access their website with my credentials and browse through it. However, when I try to send a message to customer service that their instructions are not working for me , I get a response that my CREDENTIALS COULD BE AUTHENTICATED. Other buyers are complaining that is publisher is unethical. If I don't get the example files I will file a complaint against them with Amazon. Thank you.
