It’s tedious and time-consuming to create OS-specific versions of
every desktop application, especially with different set of tools for
each platform. NW.js radically simplifies desktop development,
providing a true cross-platform development stack built on HTML,
CSS and JavaScript, Node.js modules, and the Chrome Blink engine.
NW.js applications interact with the host operating system just like any
other platform-native project, so developers have full access to all local
files and resources. The performance is great, and best of all, it saves
developers time because they only have to write one version of their
application.
Cross-Platform Desktop Applications guides readers step-by-step as
they learn to develop NW.js desktop applications that run on Windows,
OSX and Linux. They begin by getting the big picture of what NW.js
can (and can’t) do. Readers test drive NW.js as they build their first
desktop application. Next, they find out how to take advantage of OSspecific
features like menus, system-tray apps, clipboards, and the file
system. Along the way, this book teaches how to debug errors and
diagnose performance bottlenecks with NW.js’s browser developer
tools, package an application as a standalone executable for each OS,
and even distribute it to various app stores. The book gives developers
the inspiration and skills they need to code pro quality desktop
applications using the web languages they already know.
Key features:
-
Step-by-step lessons
-
Package and distribute application to a variety of app stores
-
Develop pro quality desktop applications with web languages
AUDIENCE
Written for web designers and developers familiar with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. No desktop app development experience required.
