Overview of this book

<p><span id="description" class="sugar_field">This video course explores Python basics, data structures, and algorithms. We'll build a die rolling simulator to see how to use Python dictionaries, loops, functions, and control statements. </span></p> <p><span id="description" class="sugar_field">Then, we will see how we can develop dictionaries that contain other dictionaries to build complex data structures. </span></p> <p><span id="description" class="sugar_field">Next we will use a modular approach to build a game that consists of a deck of playing cards. We will use object-oriented (OOP) Python classes to do so. We will display the playing cards both in a textual form, which we create, as well as via image files. This will lead to our displaying card images in a graphical form using Python's built-in Tkinter package.</span></p> <p><span id="description" class="sugar_field">In the next part, we will use multiple inheritance with OOP classes. While the Java and C# programming languages are limited to only single inheritance, Python classes can inherit from multiple classes. You will learn how to use multiple inheritance with Python.</span></p> <p><span id="description" class="sugar_field">You will also build Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs). We will use Python's built-in Tkinter package and delve more deeply into GUI programming.</span></p> <p><span id="description" class="sugar_field">By the end of this video tutorial, you will have built some useful utilities using Python. Python is very strong at searching directory folders, replacing words within modules, and much more. You will find these utilities useful in your everyday work as a developer.</span></p> <p><span id="description" class="sugar_field">All codes are added at <a style="font-weight: normal;" href="https://github.com/PacktPublishing/-Python-By-Example" target="_new">https://github.com/PacktPublishing/-Python-By-Example</a></span></p> <h1>Style and Approach</h1> <p>Step by step approach to build various apps and games using Python</p>

Using Several Layered Notebooks
We want to use several layered Notebook tab controls. Out of the box, tkinter does not provide this widget so we build our own. - Use frames and notebooks together - Create and remove buttons dynamically - Mimic a notebook tab click event
