Tkinter e-book.
I've put together an ebook version of the tutorial (Python version), which I've released as 'Modern Tkinter for Busy Python Developers'. You can find it at Amazon.
No plans at present Edward, but I trust you're getting good use out of the version on the web site.

Upcoming iPad Mini
Probably going to be a winner for me. Pauline has an iPad (3) which I find a bit too large to lug around. I actually bought a Playbook a few weeks back, and while the size was right, the software... Continue reading

For Mac users who have upgraded to Mountain Lion, you've probably come across "Gatekeeper" if you've tried to download ProjectForum or most other software. You'll notice it by seeing this message: "ProjectForum" can't be opened because it is from an... Continue reading

Clarifying Primary Care Networks.
There's been a lot of recent political and media discussion regarding Primary Care Networks in Alberta. I think a lot of it has been overly simplified, mischaracterized, and misses some of the real issues. I want to try to clarify... Continue reading

Alberta Health: A Modest Proposal
As we know, health costs take a huge chunk of provincial budgets, and physician costs are a huge part of that. Ontario recently decided to roll back fees for certain procedures that because of improvements in technology etc. have become... Continue reading

It's Mental Health Awareness Week. The Mental Health Commission of Canada has released what they call the first mental health strategy for Canada. There's even some talk that something might be listened to by the federal government, though I don't... Continue reading

Why we Chose Appointment-Plus for Patient Scheduling
As I discussed in a previous post, for my wife's medical practice I wanted a SaaS-based tool to manage patient scheduling. This included managing all appointments, maintaining a database of a variety of information on patients, and doing some basic reporting. It didn't need to include patient self-booking. And we...

Patient Scheduler Requirements
Probably the most work on my part went into choosing a patient scheduling solution. Remember, we're not using electronic health records; most EHR systems include a scheduler or have one available as a module to their system. If we were using an EHR, the efficiencies gained by using its scheduler... Continue reading

Pity the Poor Doctor
Pity the poor doctor. Not likely you say, but when it comes to technology, I'd like to convince you otherwise. I'm a tech guy (software developer) and run a business doing that. My wife is a doctor (psychiatrist). I've known her since before she got into med school, so I... Continue reading
