Tue Apr 14 04:01:23 UTC 2020

There were four students in my school who had similar issue. I have arranged for laptops from school which they can borrow for the duration of the lockdown.

Hi
For a Python GUI the best and simplest is PySimple, it can be learnt and used in 30 minutes. Very suitable for year 12 and down to beginners.
Just download the package into PyCharm – the best of the development software for Python.

Hi all,

All of my student (Unit 1) are Apple users so it’s been tricky trying to navigate a work around VB which is what I have come to find nearly everyone is using!

We are learning Python and we will use Python IDLE and Tkinter for GUI building. Certainly not as intuitive as VB but as we have no Windows machines, I have no choice! They all have Grok subscriptions and have completed the Python courses which a FABULOUS.

I’d LOVE to hook up with anyone else who is teaching Python – if you’re out there please get in touch!

Hang in there team!

I'm going to suggest students with Apple machines who can't run Windows on them, to learn Python on Grok Learning. Grok is free till July.

Hi,
A couple of students are saying that they are unable to use Visual Studio on their Apple computers at home because they say that it runs differently on an Apple. Also, because of ongoing technical issues at the college, they are unable to use the copy available on the VPN.

Is it a requirement of the course that students have hardware at home so that they may practice their coding? What happens if this hardware breaks or is not suitable (Apple in this case)?

David.
