00:00:01,650 --> 00:00:05,430
All right, welcome to the course, my name is John Elder from Economy.com, and I'll be your instructor

2
00:00:05,430 --> 00:00:05,790
today.

3
00:00:06,090 --> 00:00:09,990
In this course, I'm going to teach you the ins and outs of Kintyre for Python.

4
00:00:10,140 --> 00:00:11,430
Some people call it Ginter.

5
00:00:11,430 --> 00:00:12,300
I call it Cantera.

6
00:00:12,300 --> 00:00:14,420
I like to think that the T is silent.

7
00:00:14,730 --> 00:00:17,220
I don't know if it is or not, but I've always called Kintner.

8
00:00:17,490 --> 00:00:20,070
And so that's we're going to be learning in this course.

9
00:00:20,070 --> 00:00:25,920
And Kintyre allows us to build graphical user interfaces, goolies, desktop apps with Python.

10
00:00:26,370 --> 00:00:30,720
So if you've been using Python for a while and you're tired of using the command prompt to run your

11
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:39,030
programs and see the output, this will allow you to create actual apps that are, you know, real apps.

12
00:00:39,370 --> 00:00:44,400
We'll also learn how to make them into executable files so you can upload them the websites and people

13
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:48,060
can then download them and run them on their computers or whatever.

14
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:49,160
And it's a lot of fun.

15
00:00:49,170 --> 00:00:53,070
So I'm going to start out just giving you the very basics of how to use Kintner.

16
00:00:53,070 --> 00:00:54,240
Now, Kintner comes with Python.

17
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:55,530
There's nothing we have to install.

18
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:56,760
We can just start using it.

19
00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:57,810
It's very, very cool.

20
00:00:58,050 --> 00:01:01,680
And we're going to start learning all of the basic widgets of Kintner.

21
00:01:01,770 --> 00:01:03,500
Everything in Kintner is a widget, right?

22
00:01:03,510 --> 00:01:09,510
So you have a button widget, you have a label widget, you have a menu widget right there, all widgets.

23
00:01:09,690 --> 00:01:17,100
And it's just a matter of learning those widgets and then just using them so you can do just about anything

24
00:01:17,100 --> 00:01:19,260
you want with Kintner very, very quickly.

25
00:01:19,470 --> 00:01:25,830
And it really allows you to sort of unleash your creativity using Python, which is, you know, we

26
00:01:25,830 --> 00:01:27,780
all know the best programming language out there.

27
00:01:28,050 --> 00:01:29,430
And so it's a lot of fun.

28
00:01:29,430 --> 00:01:33,180
So we're going to dive right in in the next video and install Python.

29
00:01:33,180 --> 00:01:37,620
If you've already installed in Python on your computer, follow along, maybe install it again, because

30
00:01:37,620 --> 00:01:41,430
there's a couple of things you might want to take a look at and we'll talk about that in the next video.

31
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:43,860
If you have questions along the way, absolutely.

32
00:01:43,860 --> 00:01:45,120
Feel free to ask me.

33
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:46,260
This is what I do full time.

34
00:01:46,500 --> 00:01:50,970
I'm here answering questions or building new courses all day, every day.

35
00:01:50,970 --> 00:01:51,750
That's all I do.

36
00:01:51,990 --> 00:01:57,420
So I it's really important for me that you understand what's going on before you move on to the next

37
00:01:57,420 --> 00:01:57,900
video.

38
00:01:58,020 --> 00:02:02,220
So if something doesn't make sense, if your code is not working, shoot me a message.

39
00:02:02,220 --> 00:02:07,170
I'm very, very happy to walk through your code and whatever and help you figure out what's going on

40
00:02:07,170 --> 00:02:09,630
and help you understand things more if you just don't quite get something.

41
00:02:09,630 --> 00:02:12,870
So I'm in Las Vegas, which is Pacific Time in America.

42
00:02:13,110 --> 00:02:17,220
So if it's during the day and you're on the other side of the world, I'm asleep.

43
00:02:17,220 --> 00:02:19,560
But other than that, I'm usually up in awake.

44
00:02:19,740 --> 00:02:21,900
So just sort of keep that in mind when you ask your question.

45
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:26,820
I try to get to all the questions, at least within the day, but usually within an hour or two, just

46
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:28,800
as soon as I actually see them pop up.

47
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:33,150
Sometimes I'm doing something else and I don't notice a message has popped up, but I try and get to

48
00:02:33,150 --> 00:02:34,260
those as soon as I can.

49
00:02:34,590 --> 00:02:36,600
And so that should be fun.

50
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:36,930
So.

51
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:39,630
All right, let's jump right in and install Python.
