Learn how to create effective graphical user interfaces (GUIs) with minimal code using Python. Burkhard Meier starts by showing how to create a GUI form, add widgets, manage the resulting layout, and customize the look and feel of the interface.
Then, he takes you through working with data, classes, and making charts using the 2D Python plotting library, Matplotbil. Next, he discusses how threading and networking impact the performance of your code. Later in the course, he advances on to working with databases, testing application GUIs, extending a GUI using the wxPython library, and creating 3D GUIs by using PyOpenGL and Pyglet. As you follow along with Burkhard throughout this course, you will develop an entire application's GUI.
