What do you mean by the difference in programming? Do you want to know 
about the programming paradigms or the difference in deployment or the 
difference in the nature of the apps (I hope you already understand that 
but maybe not...)


Django is on the web so all the interactions take place over a network. 
The UI is displayed in a browser which interprets HTML sent from the 
server. Because of the relatively long latency between client and server 
web apps tend to be slower and less responsive than
desktop apps. To get round that they tend to cram more into a single 
screen. More modern apps also move a lot of functionality into 
Javascript on the browser and rely on lightweight protocols like JSON to 
fetch data from the server(this is known as Ajax style programming)


Tkinter is a desktop GUI toolkit where the application responds to users 
events and draws pictures(widgets) on the screen. All logic
and display happens locally, although some apps communicate with a 
server somewhere (this is called client server design).


OK, That's a start, what specifically do you want beyond that?

[Tutor] python query

2014-01-11 Thread Reuben
Hi All,

I would like to know the difference between GUI programming v/s web
designing...To be more specific lets compare Django(used for web
programming) v/s Tkinter(used for GUI programming)


I wish to have a more clear difference regarding this.

Regards,
Reuben

There are quite a few beginners tutorials available online, there is a 
list here:

Re: [Tutor] python query

2007-01-16 Thread Alexander Kapshuk
Dear All,

 

My name is Alexander Kapshuk. I'm interested in learning to program in
Python. I have very little programming experience. I've learnt some
basics of programming with Logo. 

 

I've downloaded Python 2.5 for Windows XP Professional.

 

I would appreciate any advice on what to do next. What books/tutorials
to use? 

 

I understand that learning a programming language involves practice. So,
I suppose, I could use a book/tutorial with loads of practical code
samples to try out.

 

Any other practical advice you may deem feasible would be welcome.

 

Thanking you in advance.

 

Alexander Kapshuk.
