Creating A Calculator (with Graphics)

Use the series of tutorials linked on the next slide to learn how Graphical User Interfaces (GUI) are created with Python and make a calculator app.

Make sure that you have Python install on your computer (www.python.org) and store all the versions of your program in the same folder.

Don’t forget to save often and experiment with different settings
