Create GUI App with Tkinter and SQLite - Step by Step Python Tutorial for Beginners

Today we will create a highly sophisticated Tkinter application, which is PERFECT for beginners and even intermediate Python developers!! 💻💻💻 In this tutorial, we will: ⭐ connect an SQLite database of recipes to our app. ⭐ create a BEAUTIFUL graphic user interface with Tkinter. ⭐ randomly shuffle recipes and display them on the app. ⭐ preprocess table records. ⭐ use CUSTOM FONTS with Tkinter (works with Windows only). I will guide you step by step, explaining each command, the logic behind it and even different approaches we can take! This tutorial is designed especially for folks who are comfortable with Python but struggle to apply it in practice. Additionally, complete Python beginners will get all the instructions they need to keep up the phase! 😀 🛑🛑 Convert This App into a Professional Software 🛑🛑 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tutorial is now available (including a relational database fix!!!): https://youtu.be/p3tSLatmGvU ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Download Starter Files (and Complete Project Files): https://github.com/MariyaSha/RandomRecipePicker/blob/main/README.md Install dependencies (Anaconda): 🐍 conda install -c anaconda tk 🐍 conda install -c anaconda pillow 🐍 conda install -c anaconda numpy 🐍 conda install -c conda-forge pyglet Install dependencies (Pip): 🐍 pip install tkinter 🐍 pip install pillow 🐍 pip install numpy 🐍 pip install pyglet ---------------------------------------------------------- 📽️ Other Related Tutorials of Mine 📽️ ---------------------------------------------------------- ⭐ Install Python with Anaconda: https://youtu.be/MUZtVEDKXsk ⭐ SQLite Basics: https://youtu.be/Ohj-CqALrwk ⭐ Web Scrape Databases with SQLite and Mechanical Soup: https://youtu.be/MkGQmZoMuRM ⭐ Create simple GUI app with Tkinter: https://youtu.be/itRLRfuL_PQ ⭐ Create advanced GUI app with Tkinter: https://youtu.be/y8PR4lTAh5E ---------------------------------------------------------- ⏰TIME STAMPS ⏰ ---------------------------------------------------------- 00:00 - intro 00:25 - starter files and wireframe 01:09 - create empty Tkinter window 01:33 - run Tkinter app 02:43 - set window title 02:58 - center window on the screen (Eval method) 04:00 - create Frame widget with custom width, height and background 05:32 - center window with Geometry method (alternative approach) 06:58 - create image widget 10:03 - center widgets in frame with pack propagate 11:01 - create Label widget 11:49 - fonts in Tkinter 13:20 - create Button widget 13:56 - change cursor to pointing hand 14:47 - button callback and why lambda is important 16:21 - add padding around widgets 17:05 - code refactoring 20:08 - connect SQLite database file 22:01 - database architecture walkthrough 23:54 - select all table names of a database with SQL 25:18 - fetch random database tables with SQL and NumPy 26:25 - fetch table records 27:56 - preprocess table name and records 30:09 - conditional list comprehension 34:45 - switch between frames 38:31 - remove widgets from frame 40:43 - sticky (remove white corners) 41:45 - label background in full window width 42:41 - use CUSTOM FONTS in Tkinter 43:24 - Pyglet 45:23 - Thanks for watching! :) ------------------------------------------- 🤝 Connect with me 🤝 ------------------------------------------- 🔗 Github: https://github.com/mariyasha 🔗 Discord: https://discord.com/invite/wgTTmsWmXA 🔗 LinkedIn: https://ca.linkedin.com/in/mariyasha888 🔗 Twitter: https://twitter.com/mariyasha888 🔗 Blog: https://www.pythonsimplified.org ------------------------------------------- 💳 Credits 💳 ------------------------------------------- ⭐ Database web scraped from: https://cosylab.iiitd.edu.in/recipedb/ ⭐Switch between frames on StackOverflow: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7546050/switch-between-two-frames-in-tkinter ⭐ Beautiful icons: flaticon.com
