The Art of Doing: Create 10 Python GUIs with Tkinter Today!
Learn the fundamentals of the Tkinter library and starting making your own Python GUI apps today!
Description
Have you learned the fundamentals of Python and then asked yourself; what's next?
If so, consider taking this course which will start you on your journey to making your own Python GUI applications. GUI or Graphical User Interface applications allow the end user to interact with an actual program window that they can point, click, and interact with rather than just running Python scripts from a command prompt.
So often, when students ask for advice they are told to, "Go build something" or "Get involved on a project" but have no idea what projects to build or get involved in.
This course will set you on your way! In this course I will walk you though, step by step, on how to to design the layout and the functionality of 10 unique, engaging, and purposeful apps...well 11, we have to start off with a Hello World App...that's a given :-) By the end of this course, I promise that you will be coming up with your own app ideas and feel confident enough in your abilities to create them.
We'll cover the following GUI widgets:
Labels
Frames
Buttons
Entry Boxes
Radio Buttons
Drop Down Menus
Scroll Bars
Sliders
Canvases
And many more...
As well as learning how to:
Manage application layout
Call API's and sort through the returned data
Create standalone executable files that will run on any Window's machine
Best of all, after a few short "instructional" videos, we will learn by DOING! We're going to gain familiarity, comfort, and then mastery of Python GUI's by creating our own applications together! I hope you decided to take this course. If you do, you will be set to begin creating some engaging, meaningful, and purposeful Python GUI's!
