PySimpleGUI 2020 - Part 1 Introduction of 17 overall videos in this series

This is a long lesson at 49 minutes. There is a faster, less silence but same speed, version that can be found here:

It is 41 minutes long, 8 minutes shorter. What will you be missing in those 8 minutes? NOTHING..... those 8 minutes are 8 minutes you get to spend with a friend, or writing code, or playing music.

First part of a comprehensive PySimpleGUI overview.

First 14 pages (of 42) of the PySimpleGUI 2020 Lesson Text

The Source code file 1 is in the same folder:

In this introduction we're just getting started.

Topics in this video
* The who, what, when, where, why, how, how much and how many of PySimpleGUI.
* IDEs, PyCharm
* Message Passed versus Callback architecture
* The "PySimpleGUI System"
* Coding Conventions
* Coding Tips
* Popups & One Line Progress Meter

Just barely getting to the point coding is involved. You would think that after
49 minutes more would be covered, but that's as far as I got.

Stay tuned! Clearly more is coming out over the weekend. The material's organized. The lesson's in my head and ready to be turned into videos for your enjoyment, so watch this space!

(Sorry this one ended rather abruptly... more coming tomorrow).....

I love using PySimpleGui. I wrote an OCR program for images to automate data entry. I ran into a block of images that didn't OCR correctly for various reasons. I was able to create a UI using PySimpleGui to see what was going on in a day (I didn't even watch any videos just looked at a few examples and I was able to google my way to a win). The Gui enable me to understand the problems and update my OCR to a 92% correct processing rate and make a partial entry form for the rest. I'm looking forward to watching these series of videos. Thank you! I have written UI's in Windows and Android and this by far is the easiest system to learn and develop I have ever seen while being very powerful and a perfect match for my needs.

Thank you so much. This is just the thing I've been searching for and you've also made a full series for it. Can't be thankful enough for people like you, that inspire me to create and contribute more to the community.

[chrischambers]

thank you so much... just discovered this and it is AMAZING. SO awesome.

Dude, that's a great video, but I have to give you a tip in general. If you learn to talk like yourself in 1.5x speed, you'd sound super confident, because that's the regular speed of most people. I know it's not easy being a programmer and rethinking everything, but I believe that's a great improvement to your life. Trust me. I've been there. The video is great too. GL with that

Hey Mike, thanks a bunch for this amazing resource. I'm doing my master's dissertation and was looking for a nice GUI to go on top of my already finished logic. After looking for 1 week in Qt5 for a way to extract some variable from the user input, I was able to do it in 10 minutes using PySimpleGUI - this is awesome! Thanks again and all the best!

Thanks very much for this much-needed python package; I will definitely give PySimpleGUI a shot; as I didn't have luck with kivy so far (being at the beginning of my GUI learning experience). I am a self-taught intermediate python programmer; I just want to convert my python scripts to GUI. That's it.

[chinhduy]

Thank you. I've just started with python recently, your work is very helpful to me.

This is going to be a real game changer for Python's GUIs

[pfever]

GUI is really complicated for beginners, this is perfect as a first approach to GUIs! Thank you :)

[brikozub]

I'm working on my first GUI for a python project, so this seems to be an excellent option. Looking forward to get into this.

[jorgegil]

So nice to see this video. Really helpful Mike

[kaisj]

Thank You very much to Teach us you very much!

[dr.mikeybee]

I've been looking for something like this. I've written many programs for MacOS using XCode and Interface Builder, but IMO, there hasn't been anything good for Linux gui programming until this.

Thanks for this series and also thanks for your time and effort making PySimpleGUI. I just went through a long Tkinter tutorial and got a pretty good grasp of it but then ran across your project. From what I see so far I like it. It seems more procedural and I like that approach. I also like the fact that it's easy to convert GUI frameworks if I feel the need to. I'm hoping this will fulfill my needs and desires as I'm really just getting back into Python and am getting into GUIs for the first time since using Visual Basic back in 2012.


Actually I do have a question. You said to use PEP 8 naming syntax for popup, but I notice you use sg.Text, sg.Button, sg.Input, etc. This is a bit confusing and I'm wondering why this is.

[Lucifer-wdgh]

One suggestion: Please divide the documentation under various sections . Its very hard to read ! Much love from India!

[quetzalkoalatl]

Thank you! been trying to take a dive into building some projects that could go a long way with a GUI

[ruithisway]

Hi, I'm wondering what font are you using in your IDE or the code section in PDF file, it's so pretty
