Key benefits

  • • Integrate efficient Python GUI programming techniques with Tkinter
  • • Efficiently implement advanced MVC architectures in your Python GUI apps
  • • Solve all your problems related to Tkinter and Python GUI development

Description

As one of the more versatile programming languages, Python is well-known for its batteries-included philosophy, which includes a rich set of modules in its standard library; Tkinter is the library included for building desktop applications. Due to this, Tkinter is a common choice for rapid GUI development, and more complex applications can benefit from the full capabilities of this library. This book covers all of your Tkinter and Python GUI development problems and solutions. Tkinter GUI Application Development Cookbook starts with an overview of Tkinter classes and at the same time provides recipes for basic topics, such as layout patterns and event handling. Next, we cover how to develop common GUI patterns, such as entering and saving data, navigating through menus and dialogs, and performing long-running actions in the background.You can then make your apps leverage network resources effectively and perform graphical operations on a canvas and related tasks such as detecting collisions between items. Finally, this book covers using themed widgets, an extension of Tk widgets that have a more native look and feel. Finally, this book covers using the canvas and themed widgets. By the end of the book, you will have an in-depth knowledge of Tkinter classes, and will know how to use them to build efficient and rich GUI applications.

Who is this book for?

This book is for Python developers who are familiar with the basics of the language syntax, data structures, and OOP. You do not need previous experience with Tkinter or other GUI development libraries.

What you will learn

  • • Add widgets and handle user events
  • • Lay out widgets within windows using frames and the different geometry managers
  • • Configure widgets so that they have a customized appearance and behavior
  • • Improve the navigation of your apps with menus and dialogs
  • • Apply object-oriented programming techniques in Tkinter applications
  • • Use threads to achieve responsiveness and update the GUI
  • • Explore the capabilities of the canvas widget and the types of items that can be added to it
  • • Extend Tkinter applications with the TTK (themed Tkinter) module

Comme savent si bien le faire les Américains, cet ouvrage pratique et d'un niveau gradué présentent moultes séquences de code afin d'illustrer la programmation d'applications de classes en Python grâce à la bibliothèque Tkinter. La méthode de formation basée sur la lecture et l'expérimentation du code suivie d'un bref exposé du fonctionnement du programme est simple, claire et efficace dans le but de former l'étudiant que je suis. En tête d'ouvrage, l'index des séquences de code en fait un outil efficace pour piocher par ci, par là, des idées permettant de développer une application et d'assembler les modules comme les Legos qui étaient mon jeu favori entre 8 et 12 ans. C'est bien un Cookbook (livre de recettes) que nous avons là entre les mains. Bien qu'en anglais, il se lit très facilement et la mise en pratique du code permet de mémoriser les tournures syntaxiques, la grammaire et l'orthographe des commandes.C'est un ouvrage de base que je recommande à tous les amateurs de Python et d'applications graphiques faciles à développer rapidement. Pour l'instant au bout de 1500 pages de lectures sur le sujet (sur un total prévisionnel de 500à pages au courant de l'hiver), c'est mon préféré car le plus en rapport avec une pratique immédiate chère à l'autodidacte que je suis encore à 67 ans.

Bought this direct from Packt as they are offering a $5 per book holiday special. In the universe of Tkinter books, there are few good works. Tkinter in Action from Manning is one such but it's really outdated.This book does not attempt to cover everything but it does provide practical essentials that work, including threading which is critical in most non-trivial apps. Code quality is also excellent. Has the best explanation of the pack geometry manager. Hope the author can write a cookbook or one on advanced features.

I suspect this book will be useful, but contrary to what is described, I am not sold on it being easy for those who haven't used Tkinter to follow.Within the first chapter there are several references to object types which aren't explained. Sure you may be able to learn these code section by rote, but that doesn't help you to understand the software. For this reason I ended up purchasing another book to complement this one.
