Description
Electron is a popular open source framework that allows you to build desktop applications using the skills you already possess as a front-end developer. So, if you are a web developer who wants to build modern apps with Electron, then go for this Learning Path.
Packt's Video Learning Paths are a series of individual video products put together in a logical and stepwise manner such that each video builds on the skills learned in the video before it.
The highlights of this Learning Path are
Build your Electron application and debug it
Create high quality desktop experiences using web technologies
Automate your deployments using continuous integration services
Let's take a quick look at your learning journey. You will start with the introduction of Electron. You will then dive into all you need to know to start writing your first Electron application, where you will learn the main APIs provided by the platform and how to apply them to real-world scenarios. You will then know how to test and debug Electron applications, and will conclude with an in-depth knowledge of how Electron works, and how its architectured, so you have all the necessary knowledge to tackle even the most challenging problems. Next, you will go through detailed explanation on how to properly package, sign, and distribute Electron applications. You will also cover every single major operating system in detail by using tools that automate the whole process. Finally, you will address how to set up an auto-updating infrastructure, and discuss various tips & tricks related to packaging and distribution.
By the end of this Learning Path, you will be well versed with building and distributing applications using the Electron framework.
