Great course! Especially if you're already at ease with Python. I wanted to switch from Tkinter to PyQt as it is a more professional tool for GUI programming and the instructor shows a lot of way to design a functional app with PyQt5. However, it would have be great to explain how to turn the py file into an executable app (even if this information is easily accessible on the internet) and the instructor should have used class (or def) parameters instead of defining global variables everywhere as this is not a very good practice (and it can mislead those who takes this course without knowing much about OOP). However, I recommend this course to anyone who wants to learn more about GUI programming with Python, you'll learn a lot of things

I like the content and the instructor's teaching style. Although his accent can be a bit hard to understand sometimes, it is still very helpful.
By Marc on 11/8/2020
I hate to lower my score but the hard work of the presenter is ruined by the poor communication. Sentences are filled with sugar which seems to put the presenter more at ease than the listener. You could get just as much out of it by turning the audio off and following the coding examples. The content is good but this is more of a demonstration rather than a teaching video.
By Alfredo Martinez Marin on 10/19/2020
Material is good. There are different things to learn about the use of widgets. There are some procedures for coding that could be done in a different way to execute an action and it shows some lack of programming experience of the instructor.
By Akhilesh Daphale on 10/15/2020
A good course for a beginner, all the basics required for GUI development are explained well, a good starting point, although I would request to update the section on advanced widgets to include more widgets in future updates.
By Ognyan Vasilev on 10/9/2020
The lectors' accent could have been better! Lack of explanation of the different methods meaning.

Boas instrues, mas falta a parte em que a aplicao em python se converte num icon desktop
By Abhishek Parida on 9/22/2020
One of the exciting courses I have taken! I enjoy the art of making a small app using inbuilt widgets.
By Edwin Okoronkwo on 9/22/2020
I really enjoyed the course. The teaching was clear with great explanations. Real world problems were solved in great detail including lots of interactions with the database. The course covers a lot more than just GUI.
By Mohamed Alkaabi on 9/20/2020
Its great and straight to the point. However, there are some concepts need to be explained since there is not too many courses for PYQT5. I mean beginners might struggle a bit understanding classes and OOP concepts.
By Shobhit Chaturvedi on 9/19/2020
Volkan is an experienced Instructor who uses a practical approach to teach important concepts. The entire course follows a hands on approach to make students feel confident in developing their own GUI programs. Very happy to give 5 stars to this course Would also like to give a suggestion here. Volkan should add a video towards the end about converting PyQt program into an .exe program using Pyinstaller package. This would complete the production cycle.
