Electron is a framework for developing cross-platform desktop applications using web technologies like JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. It enables developers to package web apps with a native-like experience by bundling them with a Chromium browser and Node.js runtime. Electron is extensively used for applications like VS Code, Discord, and Slack, as it allows a single codebase to operate on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
Shelley Vohr, a Principal Software Engineer at Microsoft, works on Electron. She joins the podcast with Josh Goldberg to discuss her contributions to the Electron project.
Josh Goldberg is a full-time independent open source developer within the TypeScript community. He works on projects that make it easier to write better TypeScript, most notably on typescript-eslint, which allows ESLint and Prettier to run on TypeScript code. Josh regularly contributes to open source projects like ESLint and TypeScript. As a Microsoft MVP for developer technologies, he authored the popular book Learning TypeScript (O’Reilly), which is a valuable resource for developers learning TypeScript beyond JavaScript. Josh frequently presents talks and workshops at bootcamps, conferences, and meetups to share knowledge about TypeScript, static analysis, open source, and web development.
