Suggest me step by step guide to develop a calculation based app?

Question

I am a mechanical professional working as a process engineer. My work is to learn how the machines are performing based on tech data, trials, lot of engineering constants and equation to decide the parameters and comparing with standard or rated data to define efficiency. Also i am willing to put some numerical methods and data science for predicting best values and practice for max. Productivity.

I have basic knowledge of C language and started learning python already. I have already made all layout of apps and all this concept working well on Excel. Now i want all this excel to an app. Since i want to own this app so cant take funding from my own company. Give me your best advice. I am open to learn whatever it takes.

Answer 1

1. Draw the basic layout of the app on paper
2. Write how you want it to work
3. Develop algorithms
4. Choose a language
5. I'd recommend Python, but choose the one that you prefer
6. Note down the modules you would be using (math, tkinter, wxpython)
7. Choose a very good python GUI module like wxpython
8. Install the module, install py2exe and some other things you will need to make your code into an executable file.
9. Sketch the layout of the setup.py
10. Browse for tutorials on Python, read books, watch videos, learn wxpython and increase your knowledge.
11. Design an image or graphic for the calculator app using Python modules like tkinter and turtle.
12. Start coding.
13. Run your code at regular intervals to avoid errors when the code has too many lines.
14. Follow the layout that you built.
15. Make the calculator simple and interactive as much as you can.
16. After doing all that, convert your code from .py to .exe using the py2exe converter or another one.
17. Enjoy and share with your friends.
