About me

I am Bhavya Aggarwal. I am an avid developer with proficiency in Web and Android Development.

Why I wanted to learn Electron

I wanted to create an application which could generate Invoice for my uncle's business. I came across Electron at that time which can be used to build cross platform desktop apps with Javascript, HTML and CSS. I was already well versed with these technologies so using and learning Electron JS was already a plus.

How I approached learning Electron

I started with the documentation provided on Electron's website (https://www.electronjs.org/) and then moved on to view some guides on their website.

Challenges I faced

Learning how IPC works in Electron

Key takeaways

One of the best ways to a learn a new technology is to read the documentation and not wait for videos to come out or waste your time finding that perfect video via which you will be able to learn, The developers put a lot of though in the documentations.

Tips and advice

Try building a basic project like Todo application in electron to understand how electron works.
