Attendance Management System

A desktop software developed using Tkinter package

What is Tkinter ?

Tkinter is Python's Graphical User Interface package. Which most commmonly used package for developing desktop applications using Python programming language.

Python offers multiple options for developing GUI (Graphical User Interface). Out of all the GUI methods, tkinter is the most commonly used method. It is a standard Python interface to the Tk GUI toolkit shipped with Python. Python with tkinter is the fastest and easiest way to create the GUI applications. Creating a GUI using tkinter is an easy task.

To create a tkinter app:

1. Importing the module – tkinter

2. Create the main window (container)

3. Add any number of widgets to the main window

4. Apply the event Trigger on the widgets.

There are two main methods used which the user needs to remember while creating the Python application with GUI.

1. Tk(screenName=None, baseName=None, className=’Tk’, useTk=1):

To create a main window, tkinter offers a method ‘Tk(screenName=None, baseName=None, className=’Tk’, useTk=1)’. To change the name of the window, you can change the className to the desired one. The basic code used to create the main window of the application is:

                    
                    m=tkinter.Tk() where m is the name of the main window object
                    
                

2. mainloop():

There is a method known by the name mainloop() is used when your application is ready to run. mainloop() is an infinite loop used to run the application, wait for an event to occur and process the event as long as the window is not closed.

                    
                    m.mainloop()
                    
                

What is Attedance Management System ?

This is basic Attedance Management system which designed for education purpose only just to undertand, how a basic software works.

The Attedance Management System is an application for maintaining staff attendance in a organization. In this project I tried to show the working of a attandance system and cover the basic functionality of a Attendance Management System. Like Present or absent of staff and also contain attendance details of a staff member. This attendance management system also allow to add new staff, delete staff, modify existing staff information and also calculate the salary of a staff member.
