CS50 SEMINAR: TKINTER

Nov 2017

Background

   As I was completing my journey as a CS50 (Harvard's Intro to Computer Science course) student, the staff sent out an opportunity for students to host a CS50 seminar to teach other students about interesting things with computer science.  I applied, and fortunately, I got an opportunity to share my interesting bit of CS!

​

   Why Tkinter?  I first taught myself programming through following the courses of Qazi from Clever Programmer, and in one of his courses, he introduced Tkinter.  I found it not only interesting, but also cool that instead of showing the beauty of programs through a terminal, I can do it through GUIs that are visual and interactive.  In my seminar, I go through the mindset of using Tkinter and perform some live coding to showcase how to create your own simple GUI.

​

   As of 2019, the video has more than 93,000 views, and is one of CS50's most watched seminars.
