Wow, 15 minutes into this course, already so hyped. I cannot believe this is for free. I thank you so much guys for sharing your knowledge. I really had to pause this video and appreciate the moment, again, thank you so much guys! The presenter is also super awesome and easy to follow, awesome structure etc. Amazing job, greetings from Lithuania

[adpt_music]

Been trying to learn Qt for a month from their own tutorials and examples and have been banging my head against a wall trying to separate out the code into classes / instances. This tutorial series is exactly what i needed. Clear, concise and actionable examples. Thank you so much.

If you are on MacOS at 1:27:00 you need to add this line after self.setWindowTitle("Custom Window")

[lisalin]

I really love "you can do every kind of crazy things", truly amazing teacher

[nmstoker]

The more I watch this, the more I'm impressed by this video. Covers so much but well organised and clearly explained. Thank you!! 🙏

[fahreddinsengul]

Incredible tutorial! It's awesome that you explain the details and not just make us memorise the codes.

[KcodesGh]

the fact that you from Rwanda and speak good English is amazing

[vighneshnkp]

Just finished your C++ course. Looking forward to this!

For Macbook users, I was only able to get the action to work by doing:
```py
# Create the menu bar
menubar = QMenuBar(self)

self.setMenuBar(menubar)

# Create the Quit menu
quit_menu = QMenu("\0Options", self)
menubar.addMenu(quit_menu)

# Create the Quit action
quit_action = QAction(" &Quit", self)



```

Amazing tutorial! My only recommendation would be to put some acoustic panels on the walls to reduce the echo/resonance in the video - it makes it kind of hard to hear.

In the support world I live in, customers try to grow a brain and cause problems. I feel I am doing the same thing: For this code:
if ret == QMessageBox.Ok :
print("User chose OK")
else :
print ("User chose Cancel")
Couldn't we define a method and save having to A) Type all this more than once(even copy/paste it) and B) maintain it later? Am about 40% through and just LOVING this!!!! Thank you for all your had work!!

This is a good beginner course for PySide6, so far as the contents in the video are concerned. Oddly, it does not seem to cover everything that is available in its associated GitHub repository, including things to do with Qt Creator, which is mentioned a number of times in the video but skipped, and more advanced things, which are mentioned at the end of the video for you to look into yourself.

From QLineEdit documentation:
" When editing is finished, either because the line edit lost focus or Return/Enter is pressed the editingFinished() signal is emitted. Note that if focus is lost without any changes done, the editingFinished() signal won’t be emitted. "

Losing focus happens when the user TABs to another widget or clicks at another widget (and maybe in other ways also).

the takeaway from this video is: USE THE DOCUMENTATION

[softwarecville]

Thank you for this. I wanted to take a deeper dive into GUI development with Python, and this course was great!

[lahearle]

Thank you for being the only people that have a real tutorial for this, among other things

[jameszhang]

Thank you! I've done all kinds of crazy things using what I learned from this video!

[Frostbitecgi]

i watched the 5 hours full video but still don't know how to build a simple calculator using pyside6. i only learned how to make buttons and windows but that's not helping me create a fully functional GUI application like a calculator. so i am not sure if i should buy his course!! because in that course he might just teach how to create buttons but not show how to use them to make a fully functional app.

[itaylorm]

Excellent course, I learned a lot there are additional files in the source that seem to reference other tutorials as well
