Intro To TKinter for Python GUI Apps (Udemy.com)

Been trying to grasp the basics of tkinter by way of articles and searches. It wasn't until taking this course that I finally was able to understand and put to use (in a very primitive way) the tkinter syntax.

Good, useful course: Comments (at July 2021): * Sublime text has too many nag messages to buy a license and at $99 that's too much for a text editor. * PIL is not universally available, I got "ERROR: No matching distribution found for PIL". I went back one version of python (from 3.9 to 3.8) to find a working version.

I have learned a lot. However, the constant use of the word "THING" to refer to any element from a variable to a python library to a dialog box detracts from the quality of the course, and makes it confusing to follow each video clearly and unambiguously. Vocabulary is so important when teaching.

I love how the instructor keeps things simple and the videos short. I don't have a high speed internet connection so it will take me 15 minutes to go through a 5 minute video because of buffering. That being said I can deal with small chunks. He does go a little fast but that is the nature of online classes and thankfully there is a pause button to be able to keep up.

This is an excellent basic Tkinter class including a small Math Flashcards project at the end. The instructor is very knowledgeable about Tkinter. He provided detailed explanations on each widget taught in the course.

I enjoyed my experience throughout this course. It helped me learn the important skills needed to make a program. It also helped me make the program that I have been wanting to build by myself since the start of this course. Thank you, Mr. John Elder, for your valuable guidance.

Explains things very well and in a more human nature. Prefer his way of teaching over others, adds humour to the course which makes it more fun to learn. Will defintly look at more of his tutorials. Great asset to Udemy

coding style seem a bit odd. I would have like to learn about handling events just like mouse click or some variable has changed, or the user has entered something from the keyboard and then pressed enter.

In general nice to listen to the teacher, easy going fun. The course teaches the basics to get a app going, but leaves out some background in favor of keeping things in fast forward. Nice starter to get a glimpse of TKinter, that is it. More to learn ;-)

It will help me to understand how to create simple applications and support my students. And its fun! The next thing to do is to collect data from the app, such as score and show progress over time. Text or csv file to save it to and show graph of progress. Maybe even a login screen. Great job thanks.
