Most material on PyQt development is out-of-date. Plus, an initial perusal reveals material that is inaccessible, does not run and is outdated. This beginner book will: - Show you the rungs using simple, up-to-date scripts. - Explain all the basics you need to get started. - Avoid all the dull theory. - Slowly guide you to more advanced scripts. This book is perfect for the beginner who just wants to dabble and will serve as a motivator for further exploration for those interested in longer term use of PyQt5.
