Is Python for GUI devleopment?

It is versatile, easy to design with straight forward syntax and run smoothly and responsively. It has the capability for multitouch and is made for 'Mobile' apps.

This post shows you how to import the KIVY library into PyCharm. PyCharm has native support for KIVY and getting it into PyCharm is a piece of cake!

Why PyCharm? 

It is the platform I am using now to develop some base knowledge for AI, Image Processing, etc. One could use Visual Basic Community Edition.

Recently, I have published many posts on PyCharm in this blog. Search for PyCharm on this blog http://hodentekHelp.blogspot.com

Importing KIVY into PyCharm:

It is very easy as the library is already in PyCharm. However, for your project you need to install it before importing into Python code.

I created a project, PyWidgets and then searched here for KIVY as shown.

Just click on Install and then after installation click on Add Package. The library package will be added to the project. You can read and contact KIVY groups from this screen.

KIVY as stated earlier is not a standalone program but a library. To use this, you need a Python program into which you bring in this library.

In future posts the usage of this library will be described and discussed. It is an important part of multi-touch mobile app development.

What is the difference between a C# Console application that uses .NET core and the other using .NET Framework?

Both of them create programs that can be run from command line.

While you can create both types using templates available in Visual Studio Community 2017 shown, there are many differences.

ConsoleCore-Frame_0

One major difference is that .NET Core application can be used for creating cross-platform (Windows, Linux and macOS) applications while .NET Framework is for those dependent on .NET Framework libraries, or those that do not have similar functionality in .NET Core.

Also there may be platforms that do not support .NET Core in which case you have to use .NET Framework.

Here is the template for a console application that uses .NET Core (both program folder and code)

ConsoleCore-Frame_1

The Microsoft.NETCore.App is a huge library

Here is the code for the console application that uses .NET Framework.
