Building a Simple GUI Drawing App with Tkinter

Day 94 of my Python Journey 👨🏾💻⚡️: Good-day guys 😸 Today i focused on making my GPA Calculator project more functional and user-friendly by adding a scrollbar feature to the application. As the number of courses increases, the content in the app could not extend beyond the visible window. Without a scrolling mechanism, users would not be able to easily view all the information displayed on the screen. To solve this, I implemented Flet’s built-in scrolling functionality using: (page.scroll = ft.ScrollMode.AUTO) which allows the application to automatically enable scrolling whenever the content exceeds the window size, ensuring that users can smoothly navigate through the interface regardless of how many courses are added. ✨️ What this improves • Better navigation through long course lists • Improved user experience • More responsive interface behavior Although it’s a small addition 😸, it plays an important role in making the application more practical and scalable as more data is added 👌🏽. Check out video below to see the output 👇🏽 #Python #Flet #SoftwareDevelopment #GUI #LearningInPublic #BuildInPublic #StudentDeveloper #ProgrammingJourney #ProjectDevelopment

🚀 Throwback to a project I built 6 months ago using Python & Streamlit! 🧠💻 Finally getting around to sharing this interactive quiz application I developed — focused on making learning simple, engaging, and a bit more fun. 🔹 Features: ⏱️ Built-in timer for each quiz session 📊 Progress bar to track questions in real-time ✅ Instant feedback with correct & incorrect answers 🏁 Final score summary at the end 🎯 Clean and user-friendly interface powered by Streamlit Even though this was built a while back, it played a big role in strengthening my Python skills and introducing me to building interactive web apps with minimal setup. Would love your thoughts and feedback! 👇 Live Link: https://lnkd.in/gAiweHRS #Python #Streamlit #WebDevelopment #CodingProjects #LearnToCode #Programming #DeveloperJourney #BuildInPublic #SoftwareDevelopment #CodingLife #ThrowbackProject

Reading about decorators is one thing. Building them yourself is where it actually clicks. The newest part of my Python Decorators series on "Build, Break, Learn" is 10 hands-on exercises: progressive, practical, with hints and full solutions included. You start simple: functions as objects, returning functions, writing your first decorator. Then it builds: counting calls, input validation, decorators with arguments, stacking. The final exercise is the boss challenge: building a working cache system from scratch that pulls together everything from the series. If you followed Parts 1 through 3, this is where you put your skills to the test. If you're just finding the series now, the exercises still work on their own, but the articles will help if you get stuck. Part 4: https://lnkd.in/dks3G9ZU Which exercise gave you the most trouble? I'm curious 🙂 #Python #PythonDecorators #SoftwareEngineering #TechnicalWriting #BuildBreakLearn #CodingExercises

choosing your first programming language, like Python or JavaScript, is a bit like choosing between a fork and a spoon. it’s not about which one is “better.” it’s about what you’re trying to build. spoon works great for soup. fork is perfect for pasta. but if you want to enjoy the full menu, you’ll eventually need both. the same goes for coding. you might start with one language, but as you grow, you’ll realize each tool unlocks different possibilities and there isn't one "ace" for all. if you want to keep improving, you can’t stop at just one, you keep learning, adapting, and adding new tools to your toolbox. because in the end, it’s not about the tool. It’s about what you create with it. #python #javascript #coding #learning #programing #thinking #improving #tools

Day 6/10 — A Python “System Lock” Prank 🔒😂 Taking a short break from serious product building to create something purely for fun. Ever wanted to give your friends a harmless mini heart attack? So I built a Python-based System Lock prank script using Tkinter. Here’s how it works: 🔒 The Trap Click the file and it launches a borderless fullscreen interface that takes over the screen. 🕸 The Visuals A rotating cyber-style geometric matrix animated from scratch using Python math + canvas. ✨ The Escape Enter the correct key to unlock it. Or… message me on Instagram for the password 😅 Once unlocked, the program cleans up automatically by deleting the dummy files it created. To make it easy to run, I packaged it into a single-click .exe using PyInstaller (no Python setup required). ⬇ Download & try it here: https://lnkd.in/g4WAHpQ8 This project was a fun exercise in: • GUI development with Tkinter • Mathematical animations • File I/O operations • Packaging Python apps with PyInstaller Sometimes the best way to practice coding is to build something chaotic just for laughs. Day 6 complete. 4 more builds coming. #10Days10Projects #Python #PythonProjects #Tkinter #BuildInPublic #DeveloperLife #CodingForFun

Function-based decorators use closure to remember state. Class-based decorators use self. Same concept, different container. And the container matters when your decorator needs to count calls, expose a .reset() method, or manage complex configuration. I just published a bonus article in my Python Decorators series on "Build, Break, Learn" that walks through when and why to use a class as a decorator, with practical examples. Closures hold state. Classes give it a home. Read it here: https://lnkd.in/dqbcztqs New to the series?
