wxFormBuilder and wxPython Tutorial - 05 - Getting started using wxPython RAD - Part 1

Part 1 - Getting started using wxPython RAD (Rapid Application Development) GUI

Rapid Application Development (RAD) for Python GUI
The major python GUI libraries have one or more RAD tools for quickly creating GUI codes as seen below:-

1) wxPython = wxFormBuilder
2) TkInter = Pygubu and Visual Tkinter
3) PyQt/PySide = Qt Designer
4) IronPython (WinForms) = Visual Studio and SharpDevelop
5) PyGTK = Glade
6) Kivy = Kivy Designer

Steps to setup wxFormBuilder on opening a new project file:-
1) Set project properties
- Project name
- Path
- File
- Code generation
2) Add a frame/dialog
3) Add a Sizer
4) Add elements (widgets or controls)
5) Generate the code

For any new project in wxformbuilder, the above are the necessary steps to complete the GUI code generation.

thanks useful tips to get started. I have my python code separate from the wxFormBuilder generated code so it doesn't get wiped if I change something on the form.
