I am still excited about openmolar. The story behind it’s development is very interesting; you should give it a listen. The author describes his motivation in a tllts podcast episode 290.
Neil, openmolar’s author, recently made a screencast of the program. It is an excellent intro to the features of the program. Check it out on tinyvid.tv.
Openmolar uses PyQt. I was surprised at how easy it is to build a gui. I picked up a great book on PyQt called Rapid Gui Programming with Python and Qt. It is a stellar book. Summerfields writing style is conversational; which is very rare for a computer book. I actually enjoy reading it. You should check it out if you are into PyQt.
Found a neat open source project called openMolar. It is designed to be used in a dental practice. It is written by a dentist for his practice.
I would like to help out on this project. But I have to get up to speed on Python and Qt first. I bought a book and I have been studying some on-line tutorials. It looks straight forward…
Piotr Malinski has a really good set of tutorials here
