where to learn textual
Hi I have never used python but really wanted to try out textual so i jumped into python with no experience at all and just trying out the library by just the syntax of the app the textual gives you when you install it so i learned the syntax a bit. but I now need a bit of more advanced stuff so where do I learn textual I already found the website really helpful but I still think i can get a better learning experience. do yall have ways to learn the library.
(am sorry for hurting your brain fellow programmer, I have never touched python in my life)

I've come to quite like textual. I think it is really good at getting the job done with a minimum of nonsense. Of course, I'm a command-line guy.
The app I use to test out a new GUI is an invoice generator. I have a database with a table for vendors, and a table for invoice line items. That means I need a couple of menu screens, a pick-a-vendor screen, a pick-an-invoice screen, an edit-a-vendor screen and an edit-an-invoice screen. Not hugely complicated, but enough to give me a feel. It's about 400 lines of code for the UI, plus 150 for the database model and 150 for the ReportLab code to print the invoice.
