Tkinter Gui Application Development Blueprints [Paperback]

Master GUI programming in Tkinter as you design, implement, and deliver ten real-world applications from start to finish

About This Book

• Conceptualize and build state-of-art GUI applications with Tkinter
• Tackle the complexity of just about any size GUI application with a structured and scalable approach
• A project-based, practical guide to get hands-on into Tkinter GUI development

Who This Book Is For

Software developers, scientists, researchers, engineers, students, or programming hobbyists with basic familiarity in Python will find this book interesting and informative. People familiar with basic programming constructs in other programming language can also catch up with some brief reading on Python. No GUI programming experience is expected.

What You Will Learn

• Get to know the basic concepts of GUI programming, such as Tkinter top-level widgets, geometry management, event handling, using callbacks, custom styling, and dialogs
• Create apps that can be scaled in size or complexity without breaking down the core
• Write your own GUI framework for maximum code reuse
• Build apps using both procedural and OOP styles, understanding the strengths and limitations of both styles
• Learn to structure and build large GUI applications based on Model-View-Controller (MVC) architecture
• Build multithreaded and database-driven apps
• Create apps that leverage resources from the network
• Learn basics of 2D and 3D animation in GUI applications
• Develop apps that can persist application data with object serialization and tools such as configparser

In Detail

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.
