Welcome, Python programmer!
Python is a great language for system administration, data analysis, web services, and command-line programs; most likely you've already found Python useful in at least one of those areas. However, there is something truly satisfying about building the kind of GUI-driven application that an end user can readily identify as a program, and this skill should be in the toolbox of any master software developer. In this book, you're going to learn how you can use Python and the Qt framework to develop amazing applications—from simple data-entry forms to powerful multimedia tools.
We'll start our tour of these powerful technologies with the following topics:
- Introducing Qt and PyQt
- Creating Hello Qt – our first window
- Creating a PyQt application template
- Introducing Qt Designer
