This book introduces Kivy, an exciting new graphical user interface library that finally allows Python to be used to code cross-platform applications on most traditional and mobile operating systems. Im happy youre here to study Kivy with me and hope that youll enjoy reading it as much as I have enjoyed writing it. I am confident that you will be happy with the App you develop and deploy in this book and that it will lead you to develop many new applications of your own design. I look forward to seeing your Kivy Apps on the Android and iTunes market in the near future!
This book is primarily targeted to fairly new programmers who have read the Python tutorial, but havent done a lot of real-world coding. In addition to instructing you in Kivy, this book introduces you to the programming workflow. Each chapter builds on the previous chapter to help you create a fully functional mobile application. You will learn the steps you need to follow to design and implement your own apps.
It will also be applicable to programmers who have not worked with Python before but want to use Kivy for its amazing API, integrated multitouch support, or cross-platform deployment. You will probably want to review the Python tutorial to get a leg up on the languages syntax before reading this book. You may be able to skim some sections of the text if you already understand the culture of coding.
The examples in this book all target Python 3. All but three of them also run seamlessly on Python 2.7. Those three examples have been highlighted in sidebars that include simple workarounds you can use to make the code run on both Python 2.7 and Python 3. Then, any future examples that use the same code will always use the version that works on both Pythons.
I encourage you to use Python 3 if possible, as it is a more enjoyable language to work with, provides nicer APIs, and is slowly being adopted by the entire Python community. That said, depending on what operating system you use, Python 2 may be easier to deploy and develop against at this time. You will have no trouble using Python 2.7 with the examples in this book if you prefer it.
This book was written entirely against Kivy 1.8, which is the first version of Kivy to support Python 3. The examples have been tested somewhat against Kivy 1.7, and it works with all the chapters except . Please use Kivy 1.8 or later if you can. The Kivy developers move very fast, and the newest version is always far better than the previous one in all dimensions: speed, stability, and features.

My editor at OReilly, Meghan Blanchette, has been a dream to work with. Ive read acknowledgments in many other books in which authors thanked their editors first and foremost. My experience with other editors has often made me wonder why. Megs support has been terrific throughout the process of writing this book.
Please heap gratitude on the entire Kivy development team. Ive been doing GUI programming for years and have touched many toolkits in Python and other languages. Kivy is the first of the many user interface toolkits I have used that I truly enjoy. Designing a good UI API is extremely challenging (or someone would have got it right before now), and the Kivy developers deserve many, many accolades for their amazing work. Please tip them profusely using Gittip!
