I am following all this, I get my .ui converted to .py; I go to run it but all I get is a command line message that there were no errors. I did not get my ui showing up anywhere on my screen. I am sure I missing something simple.

after seeing this video I thought "let's try it"I used Gtk3+ for a whlie but glade didn't work as intuitive as Qt Designer. But I found only a paid version of Qt😪. Where is de open source version?

Would this be similar if I wanted to use a different language such as JavaScript, Ruby, or C?

I know the default language for Qt if you use their main tool, QtCreator (different from designer) is C++, but I’m not a fan of C++.

You should do one for C++ using kdevelop. Would be quite useful for anyone wanting to get into games development. Also, is it supposed to be pronounced "cute" or "cutie", because I've always treated it like an acronym and said Q.T. as "cutie". Is that wrong?

This helped me in my University project. Our Lab Professor told us to make a graphical app which can compute people's Grades. We were given a junior class's actual result which was a .csv file. Whats funny is the university never taught us how to build graphical apps. Thanks to Qt designer and pyQt I was able to complete it. There is just one thing that I could not figure out. How can I make the app dynamic or responsive like in websites. Different resolutions made the app look very small or very big.

It's the wrong way to use Designer. And for your icons you need to create a resource file. You put all your buttons wherever you want. Choose 1 button. Hold down the ctrl key and choose other buttons. Then click in the top bar on the layout you want. Do this for all your items. If you choose your groupbox, choose button 1 and 2 and choose H layout. Then the second row. Then click in your groupbox and choose V layout. That way if you change the size of your window, all with follow. Never change the pyuic file ! You have to do the layout in Designer. This is a very bad video to show how to use Designer and PyQt. You create a dialog and you remove the buttons. Choose the right one from the create menu!
