Overview of this book

Tkinter is the built-in GUI package that comes with standard Python distributions. It is a cross-platform package, which means you build once and deploy everywhere. It is simple to use and intuitive in nature, making it suitable for programmers and non-programmers alike. This book will help you master the art of GUI programming. It delivers the bigger picture of GUI programming by building real-world, productive, and fun applications such as a text editor, drum machine, game of chess, audio player, drawing application, piano tutor, chat application, screen saver, port scanner, and much more. In every project, you will build on the skills acquired in the previous project and gain more expertise. You will learn to write multithreaded programs, network programs, database-driven programs, asyncio based programming and more. You will also get to know the modern best practices involved in writing GUI apps. With its rich source of sample code, you can build upon the knowledge gained with this book and use it in your own projects in the discipline of your choice.

Piano Tutor

In the last chapter, we explored most of the common options available for the Canvas widget. Let's now see the PhotoImage widget in action.

Let's build a program called Piano Tutor. This program will help new piano players identify musical scales, chords, and chord progressions. It will also help piano learners learn and identify music written on music sheets. People with some musical knowledge will feel right at home, but do not worry if you know nothing about piano or musical terms such as scales, chords, and chord progressions. We will cover the bare minimum of musical know-how as we progress.

In its final form, the program looks as follows:

The Piano Tutor will have three broad sections that can be selected from the topmost drop-down menu. They are as follows:

  • Scale Finder
  • Chord Finder
  • Chord Progression Builder
