Electron is a framework for building desktop applications using HTML5technologies. It has enjoyed massive success with developers looking to createcross-platform applications. Can it deliver? In this presentation I will look at the ever-present desire to create cross-platform applications with the same code base. I will look at frameworks thathave come before and then look at Electron and how it allows you to createapplications for Windows, Mac and Linux with HTML5 technologies.
