Electron is a framework used to create cross-platform desktop applications with web technologies like JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. It allows developers to offer a native-like experience by packaging web apps with a Chromium browser and Node.js runtime. Electron is popular among apps such as VS Code, Discord, and Slack due to its capability of running a single codebase on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
Shelley Vohr, a Principal Software Engineer at Microsoft, works on Electron and has joined the podcast with Josh Goldberg to discuss her contributions to the Electron project.
Josh Goldberg is an independent open source developer specializing in TypeScript. He contributes to improving TypeScript development, notably through typescript-eslint, which supports ESLint and Prettier on TypeScript. Josh actively participates in open source projects like ESLint and TypeScript and is recognized as a Microsoft MVP for developer technologies. He’s the author of the highly-regarded Learning TypeScript (O’Reilly), which is a valuable guide for developers new to TypeScript beyond JavaScript.
