The Absolutely Best Books for PyQt5 Beginners

PyQt is a GUI widgets toolkit. It is a Python interface for Qt, the most powerful, and popular cross-
platform GUI library in python ecosystem. PyQt5 is a set of Python bindings for Qt application
framework and runs on all platforms supported by Qt which includes Windows, macOS, Linux, and
mobile (iOs and Andriod) and it contains over 1,000 classes.
Learning PyQt5 as a beginner is a very incredible challenge with a high learning curve, most developers
quit and migrate to other GUI libraries before mastering the rudimentary. Check out this tips for how to
reduce PyQt5 learning curve.
Also not only that due to the lot of books out there, you are stump with the plethora of choices. In this
article, we’ll solve that problem for you by showing some of the best textbooks on PyQt to get you started
on learning joy ride!

1. Rapid GUI Programming with Python and Qt: The Definitive Guide to PyQt Programming
by Mark Summerfield
With Rapid GUI Programming with Python and Qt you'll learn how to build efficient GUI
applications that run on all major operating systems, including Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, and
many versions of Unix, using the same source code for all of them. Summerfield systematically
introduces every core GUI development technique: from dialogs and windows to data handling;
from events to printing; and more.
Although it is a book about PyQt4 is very applicable to Qt5 with just minimal code changes, it
introduces you to the nitty-gritty of programming GUis hard and fasts.

2. Create Simple GUI Applications, with Python & Qt5
Starting from the very basics, this book takes you on a tour of the key features of PyQt5 you can
use to build real-life applications. Learn the fundamental building blocks of Qt applications —
Widgets, Layouts & Signals and learn how Qt 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.
3. Beginning PyQt: A Hands-on Approach to GUI Programming
Learn GUI application development from the ground up, taking a practical approach by building
simple projects that teach the fundamentals of using PyQt. Each chapter gradually moves on to
teach more advanced and diverse concepts to aid you in designing interesting applications using
the latest version of PyQt.
You’ll start by reviewing the beginning steps of GUI development from, using different projects
in every chapter to teach new widgets or concepts that will help you to build better UIs. As you
follow along, you will construct more elaborate GUIs, covering topics that include storing data
using the clipboard, graphics and animation, support for SQL databases, and multithreading
applications. Using this knowledge, you’ll be able to build a photo editor, games, a text editor, a
working web browser and an assortment of other GUIs.
4. Modern PyQt Create GUI Applications for Project Management, Computer Vision, and
Data Analysis by Joshua Willman
Dive into GUI application development and create useful applications for practical and relevant
topics in the fields of business, computer science, and research. This book uses a realistic
approach to help get you started designing and building the applications you need while learning
new tools along the way.
PyQt has a vast collection of tools that you can use to create GUIs, many of which seem to go
unexplored. In Modern PyQt, you will go beyond some of the fundamental topics of GUI
development in order to begin building useful desktop applications. Through extensive examples
and hands-on projects, you will explore how to make applications for data analysis and
visualization using graphs, computer vision with OpenCV and PyQt, the basics of networking,
handling databases with SQL, and more!
Whether you are looking for new ideas to practice your skills as a programmer or you have a
specific goal in mind and need some help to get your ideas off the ground, there is something in
Modern PyQt for you!
