hey guys as i program more, i think of silly questions i would like answers to. if anyone doesnt mind entertaining my question, please do answer:) I have just about finished my beginner tutorial, just a few exercises left. i feel confident using Python now but im still not sure which direction i want to go in. I would at some point like to learn how to use GUIs and a web Framework(Django). But i don't know which of the 2 to start out with.
a) IF you happen to have used both, which one fills you with joy and is more fun for you to program with, GUI programming, or web related / Framework programming? b) which was easier and less complex for you to learn? or should i say had a lower learning curve? i ask this because the sooner i get an understanding of one, i can maybe give the other one a go. But if it's too hard i usually give 100% to it and never try learning anything else until it computes. my tutorial had a small section on tkinter. I have now looked for some tutorials and noticed Python tutorials on both tkinter and Tk. As i understand they are not the same thing but tkinter is like the interface of Tk? my question is: c) which tutorial would be better to study, Tkinter or Tk? and what exactly is the difference? why do they have separate tutorials? i looked at some pyQT articles, but its coding looks less organised than Tkinter. d) is this true? is Tkinter a lot more straight forward and Python friendly? e) Does pyQT have grids (rows and columns) to place your widgets on like Tkinter, or do you have to use x and y axis to position widgets etc..? Before i try to learn either, GUIs or a web Framework, i was looking into maybe getting a deeper understanding of OOP. my tutorial only covered it briefly. f) would this be a good idea tackling OOP next before the other 2, or is this a skill you master with more programming experience? ok my last question is not so important:) im just curious as i grow more fond of programming. well i keep reading Python is an all-purpose general programming language(web frameworks, desktop apps, science/maths etc..). I notice Java has similar features so should also be considered an all-purpose general programming language. my question is: g) not a comparison in 1 specific area, but which language is better or more suited to all around all-purpose quality. thanks guys _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
