Who this book is for

This book is for beginners who have learned the basics of Python but haven't written much beyond simple scripts or REPL sessions. We'll walk you step-by-step through designing and creating a larger application, and we'll introduce you to skills that will help you advance as a programmer.

It's also aimed at those who have used Python for data science, web development, or system administration, but who now want to branch out into creating GUI applications. We'll go through the knowledge and skills required to create local GUI applications.

Finally, this book may also be useful for experienced Python programmers who just want to learn Tkinter, as most of the book details the finer points of using Tkinter classes.
