This course provides comprehensive coverage of the wx (also known as wxPython) toolkit for developing Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs) using the Python programming language. In the lab sessions, students work through hands-on exercises and develop working programs to reinforce the topics covered in the lectures.By the end of the workshop, students will be able to develop Python applications with graphical user interfaces.
Since the wx toolkit is written in C++, this course is also useful for the C++ programmer who also knows Python, as a rapid development environment for programs that will eventually be written in C++.
