Did you know I'm a fan of GUIs. You know, they are kind of like web pages, but they run on your computer, they have their own windows, and you can even use them offline! On this episode, we'll dive into wxPython with Mike Driscoll. He's back on the podcast to share his hard-won experience on building and distributing Python Window-based applications.

Talk Python To Me

#326: Building Desktop Apps with wxPython

Here's a track I wrote years ago and dug up to finish writing.  Recorded this just to get it out there :) I'm contrasting developing music and developing software in a hardcore rap kinda way, pretty entertaining.  Its a Developer theme song so enjoy!

In this episode we’re excited to have Michael Kennedy on the show. We start off with Michael telling us how he got into working with Python. We then get into some popular examples of Python usage, such as Dropbox, YouTube and more. Cecil asks Micheal about getting into podcasting and what keeps him going. We also share with Michael some of our motivations for our own podcast. Micheal also share some of his favorite podcasts with us.

We ask Michael bout creating online courses, his very successful Kickstarter, and we also get into his future projects. The discussion then goes into the topic of the “computer science” in the education system and what is the difference between computer science and computer literacy? Finally, we end the show with Michael telling us about his latest adventure of living in Germany for a year!

In early 1986, The Mentor wrote The Conscience of a Hacker, which has become known as The Hacker Manifesto. When I came across it as a teenager a couple of years later, it seemed to express all of my own thoughts around coding, hacking and the ignorant, non-believer adults around me. 

This album is dedicated to The Manifesto and The Mentor, who is featured with his blessing on the closing track. You'll also find the only vocalist in the world who is qualified to rap about all aspects of hacking -- YTCracker -- featured on a track. Inverse Phase and King Fisher of TRIAD also join us, gracing two tracks with musical and binary street cred that goes back decades.
