In this course, you'll continue developing your Python skills by designing graphical user interfaces (GUIs) and creating interactive applications. You'll also create database-driven applications and services and clients that connect over a network.

Python® often evokes ideas of writing and running command-line code. However, Python has much more capability. It's well suited to create robust desktop and web-connected apps that incorporate a graphical user interface (GUI) for data input and user interaction. You can create a GUI for your desktop app to provide users with an elegant interface.
