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)
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? -- Alan G Author of the Learn to Program web site http://www.alan-g.me.uk/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/alangauldphotos _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
