Designing GUI Applications with Tkinter

Software applications are developed in three repeating phases: understanding a problem, designing a solution, and implementing the solution. These phases repeat throughout the life of an application, refining and honing it until it is either optimal or obsolete.

In this chapter, we'll learn about the following topics:

Introducing and analyzing a scenario in the workplace that will need a software solution
Documenting the requirements of the solution
Developing a design for a piece of software that implements the solution

Key benefits

• Explore Tkinter's powerful features to easily design and customize your GUI application

• Learn the basics of 2D and 3D animation in GUI applications.

• Learn to integrate stunning Data Visualizations using Tkinter Canvas and Matplotlib.

Description

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. 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. After being introduced to Tkinter, you will be guided step-by-step through the application development process. 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. 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. 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. By 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.

What you will learn

• Implement the tools provided by Tkinter to design beautiful GUIs

• Discover cross-platform development through minor customizations in your existing application

• Visualize graphs in real time as data comes in using Tkinter s animation capabilities

• Use PostgreSQL authentication to ensure data security for your application

• Write unit tests to avoid regressions when updating code

Non ho letto che le prima 50 pagine e già adoro questo libro scritto benissimo, spero possa aiutarmi a capire bene tkinter.

Libro di testo centrato sugli argomenti che sono richiesti. Scorrevole e pieno di esempi. Come tutti i libri di testo richiede costanza e continuità nella lettura per un apprendimento efficace.

As an intermediate Python programmer, this has been a useful resource in making some breakthrough progress with my practical knowledge of Tkinter. Unlike other books that focus on the basics, syntax, or spec, this book does well by providing a more practical implementation that other resources tend to stop short of illustrating.The Good: + Does well with MVC as it applies to Tkinter. I found it very useful when I had exhausted the Tkinter basics (i.e., how to make widgets), but still didn't have a good grasp of how a realistic app might be organized. + The book's example builds on itself well, if followed from start to finish (although I think this limits its usefulness as a tabletop reference). + Doesn't dwell on the Tkinter basics that one has probably already read in other books or tutorials. + Example code has worked fine with Python3. + Some of the code the author uses for form validation is pretty great. This finally made Python Mixin classes click for me. + Includes sections on visualization and packaging/distribution.The Bad: - The Kindle code formatting is dreadful. Indentations seem to be all over the place. - The author jumps between files a lot without being very clear about which one to work in. I've found that many authors as a courtesy will start their code blocks with # models.py or suchlike, which would have been nice for this text. - The author goes so far as to use SQL, but doesn't extend the example forms beyond a single view. Adding one more form in the examples would have gone a long way. It doesn't lend itself well to dealing with larger databases with more than a few tables. - Glosses over changes made throughout the tutorial-like sections, and tends to refer to any additional necessary changes as the reader's "homework" on the last page of the chapter. It's just a bit lazy.
