Newbie PyQt5: A Beginner's guide to PyQt5

Most material on PyQt development is out-of-date. Plus, an initial perusal reveals material that is inaccessible, does not run and is outdated.

This beginner book will:
• Show you the rungs using simple, up-to-date scripts.
• Explain all the basics you need to get started.
• Avoid all the dull theory.
• Slowly guide you to more advanced scripts.

This book is perfect for the beginner who just wants to dabble and will serve as a motivator for further exploration for those interested in longer term use of PyQt5.
