Basic Version

This is a short clip showing you how to add a student in the Basic Version and what information a student would have in this database. Some information can't be leave blank like Name and ID.
I have many other tutorial videos on how to use the Basic Version in the Tutorial Videos directory.

NOTE: Ignore the dark theme in this short clip of the Basic Version, it won't look like that when you download the code to your computer, unless you have installed a dark theme using ThemeTool. It would be a light theme like many other applications.

Modern Version

This is a short clip of the Modern Version, similar to Basic Version, but with modern-looking GUI, very easy to use.

This version is made with Qt Designer (generates .ui files), PySide6 and Custom_Widgets by Khamisi Kibet.

NOTE: Dark theme is the default theme of this version.

Overview

Intuitive Interface: Student Manager boasts a clean and intuitive graphical user interface, making it accessible for users of all levels of technical proficiency.

Comprehensive Student Profiles: Each student record includes essential information such as student ID, name, course details, contact information, and additional notes, ensuring all pertinent details are easily accessible and organized.

Effortless Data Management: With the ability to add, delete, and edit student records, Student Manager simplifies the process of keeping your database up-to-date and accurate. The database file is saved locally so you don't need internet connection to access it.

How to Setup Python Environment (for non-programmers)

This tutorial is for Windows users, check out YouTube, ask AI if you use other operating system (Linux/MacOS)

• Download Python on their website or Microsoft Store.
• Search for "Environment Variables" on your computer, click on the following: "Edit the system environment variables" > "Environment Variables" > "Path" (below "OS") > "Edit".
• Locate python.exe, Scripts and site-packages folders, add their paths to the system path (click on "New" in ""Edit environment variables" window). Click "OK" to save everything.
• SOMETIMES, the order of the path matters, so you need to move them up to the top.
• Open command prompt, use python --version and pip --version to verify that you have successfully setup your Python environment.
