You will learn a variety of topics, such as look and feel customization, GUI animation, graphics rendering, implementing Google Maps, and more. Lastly, the book takes you through how Qt5 can help you to create cross-platform apps that are compatible with Android and iOS. You will be able to develop functional and appealing software using PyQt through interesting and fun recipes that will expand your knowledge of GUIs

I agree with the intro to this book that says Harwani can explain "even the most complicated topics in a straightforward and easily understandable fashion.” His organization and presentation reflect his experience teaching actual live students the topics he writes about. Each task section starts out with minimal introductory info, followed by clear, succinct, amply illustrated steps to take (“How to do it”), and only then does it give more details (“How it works”), which you can read to the extent that you want to or need to. I’m not a Python programmer and so have not gone through this particular book thoroughly, but I’ve used parts of other books by this author and found them to be excellent. What I mainly am is an experienced, very fussy technical writer and editor, and I don’t heap praise on authors lightly; in this case, I think it’s well deserved. You can’t go wrong with a book by B.M. Harwani.

Its a cookbook. So there is almost zero technical background and sometimes one is asking whether the author really does know the things behind. Technical people who want to learn should find something else. This book is for the ones that want to do and do not ask how it works and why.For me as a none native english reader (obviously) the stereotypical figures of speech start to annoy me after a while. I wish that book publisher would invest more in correction and keep a cleaner english language.

If you've read no similar book then by all means consider this one. As I write, this book is the just latest of its sort. It probably fills a place in its publisher's catalogue. It is not a bad book but there were already others just as good. It covers no new ground and you won't be building "powerful" applications just because you read it. That book is yet to be written.
