09:30 Taurus - Python GUI Framework for Tango

Taurus is a python framework for control and data acquisition CLIs and GUIs in scientific/industrial environments. Taurus interfaces smootly with the Tango Control Systems and is widelly used and developed by the Tango Community.

For non-programmers, Taurus allows the creation of fully-featured GUI (with forms, plots, synoptics, etc) from scratch in a few minutes. For programmers, Taurus gives full control to more advanced users to create and customize CLIs and GUIs programmatically using Python.

We will organize a Taurus Workshop on the workshop session of the 38th Tango Community meeting. The main part of this workshop will be a "Hands on tutorial" on Taurus usage and development. The hands on sessions will depend on the participants preferences and will be selected from the following:

• Taurus Zero-code solutions: forms, trends/plots, composing codeless
  apps, using Python expressions in GUIs w/o programming etc.
• Taurus Low-code solutions: Developing GUIs with Taurus/Qt designer.
• Taurus GUI programatic development: PyQt app development.
• Develop Taurus widgets: add Taurus capabilities to PyQt widgets.
• Taurus SVG Synoptic library: Active Synoptics with SVG and PyQt.
• Taurus debugging: Debug core code, GUI configuration files, debug
  widgets, etc.
• Focus on ongoing enhancements and bugs: analyze and design solutions
  together.
• Taurus contribution guideline.

You can submit your preferences via this: poll. Please check this abstract on 8th of May to know the results of the poll and the final content of the workshop.
