GUI Programming using PyQt

Qt is a Cross Platform GUI Framework in C++ with Python bindings. The talk introduces audience to Qt widget set and capabilities. PyQt is used to showcase simple examples/code snippets on how GUI application are made. After the talk is over the audience will be equipped with basic know how of making GUI applications.

Sections:

• Qt - A Cross Platform GUI toolkit
• Qt Widgets, Modules and QCreator IDE
• PyQt - Using Python to make GUI applications
• Hello World using PyQt
• ToDo Application using PyQt
• Resources to learn more

Agenda is to introduce people to GUI Programming with PyQt. PyQt is the most widely used language binding. For a beginner, I shall first introduce them to Qt and it capability. It's pre made widget sets (Text Box, List View, Web Browser Widget etc). Then quickly show a Hello World code using PyQt. Event loop play an important role in GUI programming. Touch on Event loops using the hello world example. Will codewalk a todo/task list application to show usage of important widgets and PyQt library. Finally leave with a set of resources that audience can pursue if interested in learning further.
