[VDZ22] Application Development with Electron: How and Why by David Tanzer

In the last few months, I have been working on an application using https://www.electronjs.org/ - a framework for creating cross-platform applications using only JavaScript. The application itself is written in React and Typescript. In this talk, I want to show how to get started with an electron application and also explore the programming model of electron in some more depth. I will also talk about why I used other technologies, like React and TypeScript, with my electron app and how to test an application like that. And I will discuss the advantages, downsides and developer experience of writing a desktop application in JavaScript.
