Building desktop applications doesn't have to be difficult. Using Python & Qt5 you can create fully functional desktop apps in minutes. Starting from the very basics, this modern PySide2 book takes you on a tour of the key features of PySide2 you can use to build real-life applications.

This is the 4th Edition of Create GUI Applications, updated for 2020 & PySide2. Learn the fundamental building blocks of PySide applications -- Widgets, Layouts & Signals and learn how PySide2 uses the event loop to handle and respond to user input. Design beautiful UIs with Qt Designer and customize the look and feel of your applications with Qt Style Sheets and custom widgets. Use Qt's MVC-like ModelViews framework to connect data sources to your widgets, including SQL databases, numpy and pandas data tables, to build-data driven application. Visualize data using matplotlib & PyQtGraph and connect with external data sources to build live dashboards. Learn how to use threads and processes to manage long-running tasks and communicate with external services. Parse data and visualize the output in logs and progress bars. The book includes usability and architectural tips to help you build maintainable and usable PySide2 applications from the start.
