Re: Is Programming Obsolete?

complexity and sophistication of user interfaces. Commercial software
has a professional "look and feel" that the old homebrew BASIC

graphical user interface. The programs that they can write themselves
don't meet that standard.

  With Python and tkinter, GUIs actually are easy to write:

import tkinter

tkinter.Label( text="Hi! What's your name?" ).pack()
entry=tkinter.Entry()
entry.pack()
button = tkinter.Button( text="Ok" )
def ok(): tkinter.Label( text="Hi, " + entry.get() + "!" ).pack()
button.pack()
button.config( command=ok )
tkinter.mainloop()
