About the Book
Book description
This book covers all the basics that you need to know to start programming GUI applications with Python and Kivy. Throughout the book we will be building a GUI application from scratch, a fully functional game using all kinds of tools that Kivy has to offer.
Each part of the book starts with a theoretical introduction of a topic or idea that we then implement in the project. I assume you have no prior knowledge of the Kivy library, but you should have at least some basic knowledge of the Python programming language, including the object-oriented programming paradigm as this is what we will be using a lot in this book.
The book covers all the basic elements of Kivy that you have to know, like widgets, layouts, Kivy ids and properties, graphics, screens, animation, sound. Finally we’ll deploy the app to Windows. It is pretty comprehensive and after you finish it, I’m sure you’ll be able to create your own awesome GUI apps of any kind, not just games.
I hope you will have at least as much fun reading the book as I had writing it.

I studied linguistics and computer science. Since 1999 I've been working as a teacher. I teach languages and programming. For the couple recent years I've worked as a Python developer as well. I'm especially into GUI and 3D programming and 3D modeling with Blender. My favorite GUI framework is Kivy (I also wrote a Kivy book for beginners) and my favorite game engine is Panda3D. I love this job.
