Our first implementation of the design will be a very simple application that delivers the core functionality of the specification and little else. This is known as a minimum viable product or MVP. Once we've established an MVP, we'll have a better understanding of how to develop it into a final product.
Before we get to that, let's take a moment to evaluate our technology choices.
Naturally, we're going to build this form using Python and Tkinter. However, it's worth asking whether Tkinter is really a good choice of technology for the application. We need to take the following things into consideration when choosing the GUI toolkit used to implement this form:
- Your current expertise and knowledge: Your expertise is in Python, but you have little experience in creating GUIs. For the fastest time to deliver, you need an option that works well with Python and isn't complicated to learn. You also want something established and stable, as you...
