Why take this course?

Welcome to Create Simple GUI Applications where we're going to use Python and Qt to do just that.

If you want to learn to build GUI applications with Python the learning curve is pretty steep. There is a lot you need to know just to get something to work.

Many tutorials offer only screen casts and miss the simple concepts that actually matter. Like writing any code, successfully programming PyQt GUI applications is all about thinking in the right way. In this course I give you the real useful basics that you need to get building PyQt applications as quickly as possible. I include explanations, diagrams, walk-throughs and code to make sure you know what you're doing every step of the way.

By the end of the first 8 minute lesson you will have a running Qt application - ready to customise as you like. So, lets get started!

It's a bit hard to make out the instructors thick UK accent and the closed-caption is not accurate making following the instructor. That, and his pace if very fast, terse, forcing you to stop, rewind multiple time during each video.

Yes, easy to follow so far. I would add an optional video to tell users how to set this up with Anaconda environments :)

El curso me pareció excelente aunque me gustaría que el profesor pudiera actualizar la sección del QView porque en las versiones mas recientes de PyQt QView ya se encuentra obsoleto y ahora se usa QViewEngine lo cual en algunos puntos del curso me detuvo. pero fuera de ahí excelente todo

Very good course, clear, precise, well build, and the teacher is very great and has a good prononciation... but it is too short and dont explain the features of Qt others than GUI (lack of managing files, DB or network) and dont handle usage of Qt Builder . It's perfect if you know Qt from C++, but it must be completed by many other courses on Qt and Python :(

The instructor knows Qt, he's just a terrible teacher. This course is more of a "Type what I type and cool things will happen" instead of "this is how this works, here is why it works, these are examples, now I want you to experiment and make _____ to exercise your understanding of the topic." He does not explain the details of anything, he is often very vague, and the way the material is presented is probably the worst possible method. He did a video recording only of his screen while he coded. Later on he did audio recording over it. If done well, it can work. But in this case, the instructor's audio and visuals do not always line up. In fact, there are times when he speaks for 3 seconds and then stops talking for a minute or so while he keeps typing and makes giant circles with his cursor to say "hey look what I did." That is only an effective method to show that you made something work, not how you made it work or why that method works.

Cuts to the necessary information without any pointless preamble. You learn what you need to know and any difference between Python 2 and Python 3.

materials are concise and just nice not to get bored. However, the tone and the pronunciation of the teacher are very hard to follow. I had to use 0.75X speed and managed to hear what he was speaking. Yet, I still not able to follow 100%. Luckily, the free PDF helps to get back what I lost in his speech.

Excellent course, definitely a 5*. Spot on comments, illustrating all the layers a beginner in PyQt should know about, and after each topic a handy quiz to test what you've understand so far. Great in-depth analysis of the most needed PyQt objects and perfect example of how to build your first PyQt app. Another thing that dragged me into buying this course was the use of PyQt 5 as most tuts out there use PyQt 4 (so more work is needed). Without any doubt I recommend this course to anyone who wants to start building PyQt applications or even to someone who wants to expand his/her knowledge around this area. Last but not least, for those who are not python developers, they only need a basic understanding of programming as the author explains every step he makes, throughout the course.

So far it's interesting, but it would suit better if it was a series of 2-3 minutes videos for refreshers of the items. I would prefer shorter videos with more explanation rather than long videos with no talking to make sure they all got covered.

Can be a little vague with some descriptions and a little hard to follow if you want to code while you watch. It does give a decent background in the concepts though so it is worth the effort. Just be ready to back up the lectures a few times to try and catch everything that is going on. A very nice feature is that he included the ebook on the topic. I downloaded this after completing the course and have only begun to look through it, but it looks like it is a good resource to have.

so far it looks like hard to follow re-telling of the Qt documentation. Having said so, the final exercise was good.

This course is exactly as described. You need to know some Python. If you don't, you're basically using it as a placeholder to learn some Qt GUI coding, which I wouldn't recommend to the impatient. Debugging Python can be a real pain in the ass. Does this course teach you to "Create simple GUI Applications with Python and Qt"? Yes. It does so fantastically. Don't expect any more/less. WYSIWYG!

Con: Explanations about topics are NOT provided. Instead, code statements are quickly typed using unexplained Qt functions and arguments. Con: Lack of focus on the topic being discussed. For example, early on, the instructor unnecessarily and without sufficient explanation throws you into using Python lambdas(!) in order to use signals and slots. Pro: Covers Qt5, but since no real teaching happens in this course, it might as well have been Qt1. Overall: Very disappointed. A complete waste of time.

Even though it's not my bread and butter, this course opened my eyes to the value of creating simple GUI applications with Python. Recommended!
