Want to build your own desktop apps with Python? This book shows you how.
Python GUI Development is a beginner-friendly guide to creating professional desktop applications using Tkinter and PyQt, two of Python's most popular GUI frameworks. Whether you're designing tools for work, building simple utilities, or exploring app development for the first time, this book will walk you through each step.
You'll start with the fundamentals-windows, buttons, labels, and input fields-then move on to more advanced topics like menus, file dialogs, custom widgets, and connecting your app to external data.
In this practical, project-based guide, you'll learn how to:
Design modern user interfaces with Tkinter and PyQt
Handle user input and events
Create dynamic layouts that adjust to screen size
Work with images, files, and data
Add functionality like menus, status bars, and tooltips
Build multi-window applications
Package your GUI apps for Windows, macOS, and Linux
No prior GUI experience is needed-just basic Python knowledge and the curiosity to build something visual.
Each chapter includes working examples, visual breakdowns, and best practices to help you write clean, maintainable GUI code from the start. By the end, you'll have the skills to build your own polished desktop apps-ready to share or sell.
