This hands-on course guides learners through the end-to-end development of a desktop-based Employee Management System using PyQt5 and MySQL. Designed for students and developers with basic Python knowledge, the course emphasizes both frontend UI design and backend database integration.

Learners will design the user interface by constructing intuitive layouts, creating reusable components, and developing core CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) forms using PyQt’s rich widget library. Learners will implement real-world database functionality by integrating MySQL with the UI. They will insert, retrieve, delete, and display employee data dynamically, map GUI navigation with layout transitions, and conclude with a functional project demo. By the end of the course, learners will be able to develop, link, and deploy a fully operational GUI application with complete data management capabilities, thereby enhancing their understanding of full-stack desktop application development using Python.

This module introduces learners to the foundational elements of developing a desktop-based Employee Management System using PyQt5. It begins with setting up the project environment and dependencies, followed by designing the main application layout. Learners will then implement core CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) functionalities at the user interface level. By the end of this module, learners will have constructed the visual and interactive components of a functional employee management application.

This module focuses on connecting the user interface to a functional backend by integrating MySQL database operations into the PyQt framework. Learners will explore how to insert, delete, and display data dynamically from the database. The module also covers connecting layout navigation with UI elements and concludes with a demonstration of a fully operational Employee Management System. By the end of this module, learners will have hands-on experience linking frontend components to backend logic and validating complete CRUD functionality within a desktop application.
