Fortunately, for Python coders, that ability is well within reach thanks to Tkinter.

What a tragedy! Desktop computers still play a vital role in work and home computing, and the ability to build simple, functional applications for this ubiquitous platform should be a part of every software developer's toolbox. With so much emphasis on web, mobile, and server-side programming, the development of simple desktop GUI applications seems increasingly like a lost art many otherwise experienced developers have never learned to create one. Perhaps you've written a game, automated routine tasks, or simply played around with code.

Perhaps you've written web services, performed data analysis, or administered servers. Welcome, Python coder! If you've learned the basics of Python and want to start designing powerful GUI applications, this book is for you.īy now, you have no doubt experienced the power and simplicity of Python.

You'll make the most of Tkinter's cross-platform availability by learning how to maintain compatibility, mimic platform-native look and feel, and build executables for deployment across popular computing platforms.īy the end of this book, you will have the skills and confidence to design and build powerful high-end GUI applications to solve real-world problems. In addition to building the GUI, you'll learn how to connect to external databases and network resources, test your code to avoid errors, and maximize performance using asynchronous programming. Over the course of the book, your application will evolve from a simple data-entry form to a complex data management and visualization tool while maintaining a clean and robust design. This book teaches you to design and build graphical user interfaces that are functional, appealing, and user-friendly using the powerful combination of Python and Tkinter.Īfter being introduced to Tkinter, you will be guided step-by-step through the application development process.

Tkinter is a lightweight, portable, and easy-to-use graphical toolkit available in the Python Standard Library, widely used to build Python GUIs due to its simplicity and availability.
