Further Details About This Book:
Mark Summerfield - Rapid GUI Programming with Python and Qt
This book teaches how to write GUI applications using the Python programming language and the Qt application development framework. The only prior knowledge assumed is that you can program in some object-oriented programming language, such as C++, C#, Java, or of course Python itself. A slight familiarity with HTML is also assumed, and some knowledge of regular expresssions would be beneficial. A knowledge of GUI programming is not required since all the key concepts are covered.
The book will be useful to people who program professionally as part of their job, whether as full-time software developers, or those from other disciplines who need to do some programming in support of their work. It is also suitable for undergraduate and postgraduate students, particularly those doing courses or research that includes a substantial computing element. The exercises (with solutions) are provided especially to help students. Python is probably the easiest to learn and nicest scripting language in widespread use, and Qt is probably the best library for developing GUI applications. The combination of Python and Qt, "PyQt", makes it possible to develop applications on any supported platform and run them unchanged on all the supported platforms, for example, all modern versions of Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, and most Unix-based systems. No compilation is required thanks to Python being interpreted, and no source code changes to adapt to different operating systems are required thanks to Qt abstracting away the platformspecific details. We only have to copy the source file or files to a target machine that has both Python and PyQt installed and the application will run.
