- [Ray] One of the reasons I became a web developer
is because I like to solve problems.
I often have ideas for applications
that can run, not just on websites,
but, also, as real desktop applications.
Hey there, I'm Ray Villalobos,
and, in this course, I want to show you
how you can leverage your web skills
to build desktop applications with Electron.
Electron can be used to build powerful
cross-platform applications,
and it's been done in applications
like Visual Studio Code,
Slack, and a lot more.
Now, in this course,
I'm going to show you how Electron works
and how you can combine the power
of Chromium, Google's web browser,
with Node.js to build applications
that can run on Mac or PCs.
I'll show you how to use simple
HTML, CSS, and JavaScript,
and also how to leverage the power of Vue.js,
a framework for building applications
that can also be used to build desktop apps.
There's a lot to learn, so let's get started.
