Trying out Python PyQt GUI application development with these tutorials
Goal is to create a boilerplate - to then rapidly develop applications with

Final TODOs
- Finish videos 17/18/19 - that would be the end of the boilerplate base application concepts
002_pop_up_window.py
- create a transparent timer? - or a clock that overlays on top of all windows?
004_currency_converter.py
- needs rework - change the source of currency conversion data - rewrite this code
007_builtin_dialogs.py
- Need to figure out more ways to open Dialogs and Forms from one of the Forms (dumb dialogs, standard dialogs?)

- this one shows the new signal slot method style syntax from the older ones - not that important
- emitting signals is also important - learn about this in detail when using GUI programming
- myOwnSignal = Signal((int,), (str,)) <- use tuples also - this is acceptable - use commas to define tuples
- Check after 20:00 - how to pass multiple parameters for the same signal - multiple signal handlers with tuples
