I did the technical review for this book and i liked the way the book is structured. It is suitable for developers of all levels. Basic knowledge about Python and object oriented programming is recommended. This book contains a huge collection of recipes which shows how to use the various controls of wxPython 3. Every recipe describes an use case for each control followed by a code sample and a detailed explanation how the code works. Most of the samples are visualized with screenshots.The recipes starts easy with basic knowledge about graphical user interfaces and ends up with techniques to create customized controls for unique applications.

This a pretty good book for getting started learning wxPython. The examples work just fine with the exception of trying to use a ListCtrl in a sizer, which seems to have some problems.

This was a great book to get someone started with developing with wxPython. However, it is meant to be used with Python 2, and with an older version of wxPython. Many changes have been made since the book was published that require updating code.However, the concepts are still the same, and the book (even though out-dated) does not feel out-dated.

You can find all of the samples contained in the book on the internet. This book is not comprehensive at all.
