Creating GUI Applications with wxPython Kindle Edition

by Michael Driscoll (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.0 out of 5 stars 30 ratings
Creating GUI Applications with wxPython is a book that will teach you how to use wxPython to create applications by actually creating several mini-programs. I have found that while learning how the various widgets work in wxPython is valuable, it is even better to learn by creating a simple application that does something useful.

In this book, you will be creating the following applications:

- A simple image viewer
- A database viewer
- A database editor
- Calculator
- An Archiving application (tar)
- PDF Merging application
- XML Editor
- File search utility
- Simple FTP application
- NASA Image downloader

As you learn how to create these applications, you will also learn how wxPython works. You will go over how wxPython's event system works, how to use threads in wxPython, make use of sizers and much, much more!

    Pros:
    -really well written
    -starts with the basics
    -project oriented

    Cons:
    -Would be nice to use in-line number references to code for explanations to find the references faster

    Really good book if you are looking to develop some serious GUI applications, but haven't messed with any python GUIs before (like me).

    2.0 out of 5 stars Helpful, but not what I was looking for

    Helpful, but not quite what I was looking for.

    Nowadays we can find a tremendous amount of information online, without having to buy a book. But I was looking for a well-rounded intro to wxPython. Something that could explain the main components and best practices to implement wxPython application.
    While this book sounded like it would provide the help I was looking for, it fell short. First the format of the book is unprofessional. When I buy a book, I expect to get something more than just a gathering of blog posts. The book doesn’t have an index or a glossary.
    The author mentioned advance concepts, without properly taking the time to explain them. (ie PubSub, Super(), …). The book covers a lot without much depth. I was looking for comprehensive coverage of the building block of a best practice wxPython application.
    Congratulation for a very valiant effort to put this book together, but it still need some work. I am sure that I will come back to this book later, when I have a better understanding wxPython fundamentals to learn something extra. If found hidden treasure later, I will come back to update my post, but for now I can only give 2 stars.
    I have switch to “Python in Action from Manning”, while it is a bit outdated, the content goes into much more depth and is also easier to read.

    Reviewed in Canada on May 17, 2021

    I really like this book and appreciate the style of writing and thorough commentary. The introductory chapters quickly brought me up to speed with the philosophy of wxPython and explained how it fits into the wxWidgets and Python ecosystem. The later chapters are very well written (exceptionally well written) and further cement a basic understanding of wxPython by leading the reader through a series of projects. This book informed me about wxPython demo programs and other resources. Mike Driscol's blog and other contributions (including some you-tube videos featuring the author) have helped take my understanding of wxPython to the next level. My only want in this book is an index so that I can quickly find where this book covers certain widgets and other concepts... but I appreciate the project-based approach of the book makes this challenging. I read some negative comments about this book when researching a book to buy. Having now read this book, my opinion is that those negative comments are unwarranted.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Approach For Learners of wxPython / wxWidgets
    Reviewed in Canada on June 19, 2019

    After completing a few chapters and projects, I've found this an excellent book, and probably one of the best coding books I've read. It's filled with good simple, yet comprehensive and realistic examples.

    It's not a reference book as that is readily available on the internet and I don't think there's a need for that. This book actually takes the reader through right process to learn and master the toolkit beyond the simple tutorials you might find online. Instead, the book takes you through realistic projects so that all the pieces of the wxPython toolkit can be put together in the learner's mind.

    Since I haven't found any other book this well written for the underlying wxWidgets toolkit for C++, I have also found that this book has been key to learning how to use wxWidgets for C++.

    Finally! I found a book written on wxPython/ wxWidgets for learners. I highly recommend it!
