Getting Started With Kivy Tutorial/Introduction

What is Kivy

Kivy is a library for use with the Python programming language. It's a great tool for creating Apps on top of Python code. It is a clean and elegant GUI library. You'll need to know a bit about Python and using the IDLE IDE before you can get going in Kivy.
