Hello all,
I’m trying to get into GUI programming, but am hesitating on using a Python library to make my first barebones program. My goal is to code basic buttons and understand how operating systems implement the way they draw windows for applications.
I have coded mostly in scientific libraries or high-level languages that are fairly simple (Python, Matlab, Julia)… Also am familiar with basic concepts and syntax from C.
Looking for recommendations to start. I am happy to learn a new PL. Interested in writing code for legacy hardware and mobile. Bonus if the codes are general enough to be written for most displays one could interact with.
If you are interested into dipping your toes into rust land there is a library called Iced that I have used before. I at least like it better tham pyqt
Rust is still really difficult to read. I’ve attempted ice a couple of times so probably need a better introductory project.
If you do want to learn Rust, try Rustlings. It’s the best intro I’ve ever seen to a language. You are introduced to all of the concepts and data structures by debugging code, and you run it locally so you get a real development experience while you do it.
