Recently I had to build an application for the Desktop. Due to the time factor, it wasn't possible to go down the learning native language route (such as C++ or CSharp). Having already got a good background in Web development and NodeJS I choose to try out Electron. Working on the project and building a production ready electron app, gave me experience in the building, optimising and packaging apps for Electron. I now have a good understanding of Electron and its tool chain, I fully intend to grow this understanding building more apps on Electron.
