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.

Many web and desktop apps process data. As a developer, you have to connect to that data, bring it into your app, and process it as defined by the requirements of your app. In this lesson, you will use Python® to connect to data, then store, update, and delete data in a database.
