Many years ago I wrote a series on “reviving your old PC with Linux“, a topic which still remains in active discussion all around the Linuxy corners of the Interwebs. Most of what I wrote still applies, so long as you shift things forward seven years into the future. But as someone who continues to engage in the hobby (and discussion of the hobby) of foisting free operating systems on whatever decaying PC hulks float my way, I thought I’d write up random thoughts about the subject in response to things people say or the changes in computing. A bit of a rant, a bit of state-of-the-union, and a little thinking out-loud on the topic of old hardware running old faithful.
Tkinter Book Release!
Woohoo! My new book, Python GUI Programming with Tkinter is finally out! You can order it directly from Packt Publications or from Amazon if you prefer. It’s available in print or in a variety of electronic formats, if you prefer.
This book was six months in the making, and it feels good to see it finally available for purchase.
This is a HUGE book that covers much more than just using the Tkinter library; it takes you from being a Python novice to a software architect able to design and build complex data-oriented applications.
