Best tutor for programming on KZbin!!!

[@bobmonsour]

I went through this slowly and carefully...took several hours so that I could digest things...especially the ipc stuff. It makes a lot more sense now. I do hope you'll update your udemy course on this some day. That said, I know enough to be dangerous now and I really like what can be done with Electron. Thanks!

this is really what i was searching information for atleast a month now, thank you

Electron? Remember that Brad has a full course on the topic. Another amazing instructor that made a course on Electron is Stephen Grider!

Absolutely perfect timing. I wanted to do something very close to this.

Thank you for the tutorial! I like that you focus on electron and not on adding a front-end framework in the mix. It made the way you explained the main process, renderer and IPC communication very clear!

@traversymedia Brad, I’ve lurked on KZbin and other sites for a while as I am trying to learn JavaScript for a upcoming Bootcamp and I’ve been stressing because I keep getting stuck in trying one resource and moving to the next as it feels too slow. I watched some of your JavaScript KZbin videos and am completely impressed with how you structure the learning topic and your tone that you teach in. You make beginners feel welcomed and hopeful. I just purchased two of your courses on Udemy and want to thank you for the top tier content and hope you are getting enough support to continue producing such high quality material. Please, if you don’t do it already, start a podcast man. I, among many others, would love to dive into that content with you. Cheers my friend!

Html/css/js can be used now to build pretty much any software, server side, front end, even mobile apps and of course desktop apps with electron. No other stack can compete hence why JS is the #1 programming language :)

[@emreaka3965]

you can do that with c# which is faster and obviously a better choice to develop such applications except for web applications.Right now, You can develop cross-platform (web, macOS, windows, ios, android...) applications with html, css, c#. 😉

Hey, thanks for the vid... always fun working with your tutorials... Something that threw me ... when setting the values on the width and height fields of the selected image form, the values were invisible (I thought it was failing) but turned out the text color was opaque for some reason, so setting style color to black to both inputs "fixed" it. May go back and determine the source of the problem and do a more systemic adjustment later, but love your teaching style. No BS and fundamental.

Electron JS uses chromium to render HTML CSS JavaScript so even if you only have a simple h1 tag it will be more than 100MB in size

[@imbayi]

How is this an issue in 2022? Developers like making a mountain out of a molehill. Today average computer users are just doing fine with PCs and Macs with 256GB of storage. We are no longer storing photos, music and movie files on our computers to worry so much about storage. This is the same argument most developers make against certain technologies arguing that technology X cannot support millions of users yet in the entire life they'll never build a product or service for millions of users. Every dev out there argues as if he is building the next Facebook.

[@justfun591]

REALLY interesting video, thanks for that Brad! Don't know what I would give for a course on a Vanilla HTML/Javascript/CSS to Native Mobile App conversion [maybe using Cordova?]. The discontinuation of PhoneGap has left a huge gap in that respect (yes, I am WELL aware of its drawbacks, but I'm obviously NOT talking about creating one million plus downloads gaming apps here)

[@erasmusmensah]

Try PWA

[@christian-schubert]

@@erasmusmensah Wish it were that simple. Most of the time, it's really a matter of prestige - there are clients out there who INSIST on a native app where a PWA would totally suffice

What steps must developers creating desktop apps with Electron use to make those accessible to screen reader software that blind folks use? Came across something recently to configure a device for recording wildlife and if it was a web page, could benefit from labels for text edit fields, radio buttons and checkboxes. But with electron, what is the best practice so that the app is then screen reader accessible?

same error. there are two possible solution: 1.install electron js 20 version 2. read the electron current version(32) doc - it is helpful

[@BSenta]

It doesn't make sense to worry about memory leaks when your application closes. Even in C++ if you have forgot to free stuff in the heap when the whole application ends all of the memory will be claimed back by the OS. It doesn't make sense to set that window to null when your closing your app. Unless electron apps don't 'close' and just run in the background like chrome does even when you close all the windows - which would be stupid if it did this
