Hey Michael, thanks for the awesome session. I'm a HW engineer and have been making python apps in my workplace thanks to your jumpstart & async tech course. This session was quite interesting because my app involves Tkinter with pyserial connection with embedded devices. Just a few comments about the stream. Few of others may have different thoughts, but this comes from my personal experience. 1. The thing about pyinstaller is that if an exe file is generated from unknown source it is assumed as a trojan by windows defender. One of the way to get away from this is that you have to build Pyinstaller from YOUR machine that is trying to build an exe. Of course then you have to install it via 'pip install -e [location]' Details of it is described in 'bootloader' tab in documentation of Pyinstaller 2. Tkinter themes... I strongly suggest to use it with care. Some of the themes can really slow down the performance.
I got the book "Creating GUI Applications with wxPython" today in the mail. Nice book, large 350 pages with 10 apps. I think the book makes it easier to create GUIs with wxPython than other books with different libraries. I also got today "Create GUI Applications with Python and Qt5" book by Martin Fitzpatrick. First impression, I think it is a good book too.

Hi Surin, thanks for the heads up on PyInstaller and Windows Defender!

Thanks for sharing your experience and watching/listening. :)
