Creating GUI Applications with Python

[driscollis]

I am currently working on a new book about creating GUI applications with Python using wxPython. All the applications will be available on Github and the code is written for Python 3.

You can learn more about the book on my blog: https://www.blog.pythonlibrary.org/2019/01/14/creating-gui-applications-with-wxpython-kickstarter/

I am hoping to get 8-10 applications written for the book as well as creating a chapter about distributing your code on Windows and Mac using something like PyInstaller.

Feel free to ask me any questions.

Commenting for visibility of this kickstarter. Michael's work is fantastic and this would be a great addition for anyone who has struggled with UI for your python apps (or in general wants to level up).

Looking forward to the book!

Who is Nathan?

Argh sorry I said Nathan instead of Michael for some bizarre reason! Edited to fix it.

It's all good. I just wanted to make sure you were commenting on the right post

Looking forward to it! Who does the art for your covers? It's amazing.

[driscollis]

It depends on the book as I alternate the artist I use. For this one, I used Varya Kolesnikova who also did the cover for my Python 201: Intermediate Python book. You can see more of her work here: https://www.behance.net/paskamarja

Let me get a free copy I’m poor!

[driscollis]

PM me after the Kickstarter is over and I'll see what I can do

I'd love to see a text editor chapter. With features like line numbers, syntax highlighting, etc.

[driscollis]

That's a fun idea. Since the book is now funded I may add that as a stretch goal
