Python GUI Programming with Tkinter - Second Edition

Good book. Good explanation. Who want to learn python tkinter, This book is best choice.

I found book hard to understand. Not written in a way that can be understood for gui beginners.

I purchased this book in order to learn more about GUI use and Tkinter. I didn't realize the book is over 600 pages. It starts out extremely simple and gets you going quickly while simultaneously teaching you in an understandable way. I'm only halfway through but so far, it's an awesome book. Goes over everything in great depth and is basically my new Tkinter offline encyclopedia. 10/10

I have some larger open source projects using Python, and I chose tkinter because of its robustness and speed. I gradually mastered the programming challenges as they came, thanks to the great help on Stack Overflow (thank you all, especially Bryan). Despite everything, over time a complex program structure emerged that was quite difficult to keep track of. And then I came across this book by Alan D. Moore.This book shows an approach to professional software development, learning step by step from simple beginnings.The example project is realistic and the teaching method is extremely effective for me. I finally understood how to implement the model-view-controller pattern with tkinter. The examples of user interfaces on different operating system platforms, taking into account the respective guidelines, are also very interesting.After reading the book, I completely redesigned my latest application based on the deepened understanding, though in some details I opted for different solutions.Definitely a worthwhile read for anyone who has ambitious plans with Python and tkinter.

Mi è stato comunicato che il libro non era consegnabile perché rovinato. E va bene, sono cose che capitano.Per risolvere il problema sarebbe bastato sostituire il libro (d'altronde se l'ho ordinato è perché lo voglio) o restituirmi quanto pagato.

The second edition spends more time breaking you into GUI programming. The second edition does not simply add a few chapters with new stuff. A lot of effort has gone into the second edition.Before I say why I like the second edition enough to give it 5 stars, I will say why the first edition would only get a 1 star from me. The first edition jumps straight into Object Oriented Programming which is way to hard if you are not used to it. I personally write smaller scripts and dont have the time to learn that on top of GUI programming. At this point I put the first edition down and struggled to get into it again.This is where the second edition of the book really helps. You start off by writing a whole application from start to finish with no OOP. The example is almost exactly what I needed to convert my python script (it generates a program from a CNC machine) into a GUI. The language of the book is changed to make OOP easier to understand and that is where I am currently at.I will probably update my review once I work through the book, however, my program is complete and I don't think I could have done it without this book. I can't imagine how a third edition could improve on this.

pages of code with barely a sentence explaining what it does
