GUI Programming with Python and Kivy
This book covers all the basics that you need to know to start programming GUI applications with Python and Kivy. Throughout the book we will be building a GUI application from scratch, a fully functional game using all kinds of tools that Kivy has to offer.
Each part of the book starts with a theoretical introduction of a topic or idea that we then implement in the project. I assume you have no prior knowledge of the Kivy library, but you should have at least some basic knowledge of the Python programming language, including object-oriented programming with Python because this is the paradigm we’ll be using a lot in this book.
The books covers all the basic elements of Kivy that you have to know, like widgets, layouts, Kivy ids and properties, graphics, screens, animation, sound. Finally we’ll deploy the app to Windows. It is pretty comprehensive and after you finish it, I’m sure you’ll be able to create your own awesome GUI apps of any kind, not just games.
I hope you will have at least as much fun reading the book as I had writing it.

Very good book for beginners
First of all, all the code works in this book.
I work with Kivy 2.2.1
It is a lot of information to grab it at first. If things don't make sence and you don't understand, just curry on.
I am going to work through this book the second time, I believe things will be much more understandable.
If you want to learn KivyMD, I will recommend to work through this book before learning KivyMD because KivyMD is based in Kivy.
