Tkinter GUI Application Development Cookbook: A practical solution to your GUI development problems with Python and Tkinter

Tkinter GUI Application Development Cookbook by Alejandro Rodas de Paz covers all your Tkinter and Python GUI development problems and solutions.The Tkinter GUI Application Development Cookbook starts with an overview of Tkinter classes while at the same time providing recipes for basic topics such as design templates and event handling. Here’s how to develop common GUI templates, such as entering and saving data, navigating menus and dialog boxes, and performing long-running actions in the background. Then you can make your applications efficiently use network resources and perform graphical operations on a canvas. and associated tasks such as collision detection between elements. Finally, this book covers the use of thematic widgets, an extension of the Tk widgets that have a more native appearance. Finally, this book covers the use of themed canvases and widgets. You will:

Add widgets and manage user events
Organize widgets in windows using frames and various geometry managers
Configure widgets to look and behave in a custom way
Improve your application navigation with menus and dialog boxes
Apply object-oriented programming techniques in Tkinter applications
Use threads to be responsive and update the GUI
Explore the capabilities of the canvas widget and the types of elements that can be added to it
Extend Tkinter applications with TTK module (Tkinter theme)

Modern Tkinter for Busy Python Developers: Quickly learn to create great looking user interfaces for Windows, Mac and Linux using Python’s standard GUI toolkit

Modern Tkinter for Busy Python Developers by Mark Roseman is intended for Python programmers looking to quickly create desktop user interfaces. You may be new to Tkinter or want to update your knowledge. You don’t need to be an expert in OOP, MVC architecture, multithreading, or other advanced topics. In fact, you won’t need any of these things to use Tkinter. This book uses Python 3.9, but everything you learn will apply (with minor adjustments) to any version of Python 3.x. It won’t help you if you are using Python 2.x.

You will learn all the modern best practices. You will build your user interface the right way the first time, without having to learn anything additional or irrelevant. It starts from scratch, shows you what you need to know, and covers all the essentials for creating your modern user interface. This includes:

all standard GUI widgets
an attractive presentation of your user interface
management of menus, windows and dialog boxes
organization of more complex user interfaces
Powerful Tkinter widgets: canvas and text
customize the look of your user interface
make everything work on macOS, Windows and Linux

Python GUI Programming with Tkinter: Develop responsive and powerful GUI applications with Tkinter

Python GUI Programming with Tkinter by Alan D. Moore teaches you to design and create functional, attractive, and easy-to-use graphical user interfaces (GUIs) using the powerful combination of Python and Tkinter.

After learning about Tkinter, you will be guided step by step through the application development process. Throughout the book, he will take his application from a simple data entry form to a complex data management and visualization tool, while maintaining a clean and robust design. In addition to creating the GUI, he will learn how to connect to external databases and network resources, test his code for errors, and maximize performance using asynchronous programming. You will take full advantage of Tkinter’s cross-platform availability by learning to maintain compatibility, mimic the look and feel of a native platform, and create executables for deployment on popular computing platforms. You will learn:

Implement the tools provided by Tkinter to design beautiful graphical interfaces
Run cross-platform development through small customizations for your existing application
View real-time graphs as data arrives using Tkinter’s animation capabilities
Use PostgreSQL authentication to ensure the security of your application data
Write unit tests to avoid regression when updating code
Understand how to search for recordings with Treeview
