Abstract

Hello! Welcome to Beginning PyQt: A Hands-on Approach to GUI Programming. The goal of this book is to take a more practical approach to learning how to code user interfaces (UIs), following along and coding numerous examples, both simple and complex, to help understand and visualize how we can use the concepts taught in each chapter. In this first chapter you will find out about PyQt5 and why it is a great tool for creating cross-platform desktop applications. You will also discover some good practices that are key to building extraordinary graphical user interfaces (GUIs).
