Once again before we jump into writing electoral code I think it would be great.
We talk about what is sadly electoral is and how it came about.
Yeah I knew I knew using slides but I promise you this is going to be the only time we have any slides.
So let's jump into it.
So what is Alice electron now electron framework for.
Let ranges is a framework for creating native applications with web technologies like ásgeir Moses is
a diverse group.
So basically it allows you to write digital publications with web technologies that you know of and
these digital apps that you create across platforms.
That means that they run on all printing systems so electronics go of all the hard part for you.
So they can focus on the core of your application so if you can build a website then they are high chances
that you can build a desktop application with Electron so that is a basic explanation of electoral now
the technical explanation of electron is this so it is the misc of new ideas and chromium.
Now no.
Jesus is a javascript runtime that allows you to write JavaScript code and run it outside a browser
so you can run it on a mobile device on the desktop and does one know as is now chromium is a browser
engine that is used by some of the most popular browsers Audi chrome uses the program engine and most
of the brothers are now using the chrome engine as well so electron is a combination of Mujeres and
chromium.
So what happens is that when you are writing your desktop applications unlike websites where when you
write a website you don't really know which browser your users are going to be using.
So sometimes you have to be right support for or defend different browsers and or defend different open
systems and sometimes some brothers might even break your your website and sometimes some brothers might
ship a future a feature that is not available on other browsers so it becomes very difficult to manage
all these things.
Now with electron it comes with its own chromium engine browser engine which runs your electron application
so whatever feature you have from the engine you are sure that is going to be on every uses operating
system on every reservation of your desktop application.
Because of this in web application or no JS application you have already written can be converted to
a digital using electron Gs.
So once again electron GS is a framework that allows you to build native applications using web technologies
like HDMI LCROSS and JavaScript and these applications you are building up cross platform so that means
that they can run on all operating systems.
Does Windows Mac and Linus now let's talk about a brief history of electoral.
So the whole electoral thing started in January 20 dating by an engineer to get up call in Zo the whole
purpose was to search for two that was going to allow the guitar engineers build a cross platform.
Text editor using their Web technologies that demo which is easier most yeses and JavaScript and then
they will emerge to make it easier for them to build a cross platform.
Text editor and this is where Upton was born electron was initially known as atom shell and it became
open source in 2014.
So do it.
It started in January 2013 and in the same year July 20 dating out on show was born.
A year later in May 2014 it became it became of measles and another year later it was renamed to electron.
Now in June 2016 the fair's vision of electron was released and here we are three years after that from
Vision 1 and we are on version 5 1 0 of electron now electron has been used to build a lot of applications
that you move.
For instance we are atom which is and I am an editor an idea which is quite a black cross platform and
it was built with Electron visual studio good was built by the Microsoft engineers and they built it
with Electron Skype.
The digital vision of Skype if no Skype date was built with Electron even the desktop vision of non-stop
wave was built with Electron slack.
The most popular productivity too for teams to communicate in groups was built with electrons.
Also the digital version of WordPress was also built with electrons so electron has been used to boot
a lot of top applications and that is what we are going to learn in this course.
How tos electron to build these applications so key takeaways electron is a genius framework that allows
us to build cross platform decks of applications with HDMI most has in Davos script it uses nudges and
chromium to make it very easy and effective to build your digital applications.
So that is it for dissection and that is it for the slide I promise we're not going to use lies anymore
in this course.
So see you in the next section.
