Create GUI App with PyQt5 - PART 1

Video Description

In this video we'll use PyQt5 to create the graphic interface of "Who Wants to be a Programmer???"; a computer science trivia game, which determines who is truly worthy of the title! We'll design the first two frames of this game and learn how to switch from one to the other effortlessly. We'll also discuss in detail all the important widgets (text, image, button) , we'll go over styling and layout commands, as well as adding interactivity to clickable elements (this is probably my favourite part of PyQt5 - it allows you to create hover events and utilize your pro CSS skills to their full extent!). This is PART 1 of the complete project, where we focus on creating the GUI. In the upcoming PART 2, we will load a database of trivia questions and connect all its functionality to our interface. 😍 WATCH PYQT5 TRIVIA APP - PART 2 😍 https://youtu.be/r2ZN0mTDnPc ******************************************** DOWNLOAD STARTER FILES: https://github.com/MariyaSha/TriviaGame/tree/main/Trivia%20-%20Starter%20Files PyQt5 Documentation: https://www.riverbankcomputing.com/static/Docs/PyQt5/index.html COMPLETE PROJECT: https://github.com/MariyaSha/TriviaGame MY NEW BLOG: https://www.mariyasha.com/ (also pythonsimplified.ca) CONNECT ON LINKEDIN: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mariyasha888/ FOLLOW ON INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/mariyasha888/ ************************************ ⭐⭐⭐ TIMESTAMPS ⭐⭐⭐ ************************************ 00:00 - Intro 00:59 - Starter files walkthrough ************************************ 1.
