Was 2017 when i first started learning programming and this channel was first in my list. After 5 years in my career as senior dev still coming back to this to learn new stuff. thank u so much ^^
mec daaxloebit mag dros daviwye swavla ;d
a familiar situation :)
Any advice second year cs and i feel lost
spent a whole day trying to get things going, came here, and now everything is illuminated. Hands down the best programming tutorials around!
Thanks Brad. I don't think I'll ever be able to repay you for all the great training.
Finally I can use all my RAM
😂
Hahahahahaha
nice one hhhh
Cool 😎 just watch if any smoke coming ou
hhahaha, all tools that are forced to cross platform always end up badly in terms of memory resources. I used to try cordova just made a simple to-do-list app, I ran it on my phone and my phone got hot in just 5 minutes lol
This week I was working on Electron and suddenly I saw your video notification on my phone. As always thank you Traversy
Absolutely perfect timing. I wanted to do something very close to this.
Thanks for this one, I have never tried electronjs, it was something I was kinda avoiding but I find it super interesting. And also it refreshes a lot the knowledge of node usage. Don't hesitate to make more ;)
All the best from Barcelona
Excellent work explaining this. I got a lot out of seeing how it all worked, and coding along. Really appreciate the time you took to make it!
One of if not the best Electron videos on RUclips. Nice job Brad!
The best Electron tutorial on youtube 🙌🙌
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!
Good times. Thanks as always Brad. Much love ☮
thank you Brad for this updated tutorial on electron!
Best tutor for programming on RUclips!!!
Thank you very much for a clear tutorial. I was pulling my hairs out looking for a solid tutorial.
Thank you for this video. I watch from begin to end, and I was not have any problem during development.
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!
@@Gigusx Thank you🥺
I was planning to learn electorn and then you dropped this video. Thanks man
Awesome, Brad! 👏👏👏👍
He is here again. Thanks Brad!
Great session, Very useful and informative at a great pace. Thanks.

This is the best tutorial I could find ... thank you :-)
Dude, I am literally checking for latest Electron tutorial. Many people comment about this, but never thought it will happen to me. Anyway thanks buddy.
Never regret the day I subscribed to your channel dude.. thanks for the video
Ive been waiting for this. THANKS BRO

Great job dude !
I will save it on my list so I can follow it later,
Tks Brad
It's amazing. Thank you for a good experience for a newbie
Great tutorial. You're a very good teacher sir!
I just finished your react udemy course and then i was researching a a problem i wanted to solve and this youtube video was exactly concept i was looking for
I learned so much! Thank you
Always excellent.
Thanks for the course, it's very informative and helpful.

Extremely awesome video, it's better, than docs. Thanks!
Awesome tutorial thank you very much
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!
Thanks for this 😌
Thanks A LOT! Very helpfull video!
Great video. Taught me a lot. Felt like Bill Burr was teaching me with your accent!
Excellent! 👍👍
This was super useful! Thank you so much! What would be super helpful is showing how to set up a webpack in the renderer. And show how to set up a framework in the rednerer.
Something I've been waiting for. There were so many updates to electron

Brad, I’ve lurked on RUclips 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 RUclips 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!
Bobo just use Udemy
@@idkcoder what?
@@subiebugeye02 if you want to program web apps learn c+ javascript is mainely for web apps and web pages, this stuff is really for advanced users in javascript to be able to code desktop apps without learning new languages
I love this guy fr
This content should be made a playlist
Thanks Brad
man. Thank you!
Thank you 🙏
Thank you for this video toaay
Thank you for your work did you consider Neutralinojs as much smaller and much faster than electron because it uses chrome library
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.
Hi Brad. I was wondering, how do you get the css file used in this electron app? Since it is Tailwind css, did you design elsewhere and treeshaking the classes first or that is full css in Tailwind?
Cool project,we also need an update on progressive web application.Its good for cross platform.
Thank you
Another classic, I also want to say that there is nothing like development with bare js and nodejs :)
like raw-dogging in a whorehouse.
Great tuto Mr brad 🔥🔥
Hope to make project based on TAURI framework 🙏🙏🙏
Super cool video!
Trying to learn how electron works so I can make my own Music player app
I am planning to make my own video player. Can you drop your github link
Another great video! Thanx!!!
For those interested, to get rid of the menu on the About window...

Today i made a screen recorder using electron, I wish this video would have come a few days earlier. Would have saved a lot of time.
May I ask you to share the code with me for education purposes? Just curious :)
@@overboostoverboost2541 i tried sending 7 msgs and all got deleted
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?
Thx a lot
Cool background.
thank you
I have an electron App with UI built using react and a browserView loading a webpage. Now I want to make async communication from UI renderer process to webpage renderer process. Is it possible ? Even if I use ipcMain to handle ipcRenderer.invoke request from UI, I dont know how to send async request from main process to my browserView process, so that when it returns a response, I can then return response from main process to UI renderer process. Any help here would be appreciated much.
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)
Try PWA
@@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
yes yes yes yes yes yes!
finally
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 :)
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#. 😉
@@emreaka3965 with electron or do i need to use webview?
Great course as always Brad... But personally I am waiting for Tauri Crash Course, they have an amazing framework and I really want to give it a try
Check other channels. Brad is a web developer. It's unlikely he'll do a tutorial on a rust based framework
@@AbhishekBM Why not? He has done a tutorial on Rust and this is a tutorial on desktop application... I guess it depends on him but it wouldn't be new to his ecosystem
me too
Love your videos and thanks for sharing your knowledge. Will your updated Udemy course include working with React? I find that there's a big gap there as someone who's coming from React and trying to figure out how to use that With Electron. Also, when is it due to be updated?
Hey I just started working on a react electron app with typescript, but I'm having difficulty finding a guide/way to do it properly, would you be able to show a way for that?
tried using a boilerplate but having problems connecting to the nodejs server.
ahh, so much needed as those security changes in electron made many many tutorials not suitable

How is your VS code theme called? Looks neato! And thanks a lot for the tutorial, helped me a lot to become familiar with Electron development.
Oh, and early implementation of the "about" window is generating a new instance of every selection. If not addressed in later in this tutorial, and easy way to prevent this?
Could you please make a video on "Create a Desktop App with JavaScript & Tauri"? Thanks Brad for all the good works.
to the top!
We need one project with Advance Angular please 😊, stay blessed Brad 🎉
i need help understading how to package it on a mac, i was able to build the relase folder and dmg file after it but im lost after that on how to get the app actuly installed on my laptop
Can you do a video on building a RUclips to MP3 Converter? All the ones online are sketchy. It would be awesome if we could build our own. Love the video!
that would be amazing and helpful tool
Great video! What is your VS Code Color Theme? :D Looks like GitHub Darker, but the outlines are less prominent with your theme.
I was thinking of searching this then this video popped up 🤣
I'm done just watching, is time I follow up and start building... I'll be back to testify.
Cool
Thanks sir
In this app Can I use RPC (remote procedure call) as in web apps
RUclips needs to add a feature to clip favorite channels and videos
Thanks for this one!
I am creating one desktop application using electron now I want to connect it to the database. Can you tell me anything that I need to do?
Great stuff mentor...pls do same with react js if possible with a DB...thnks...
Your index.html (on GitHub) is missing closing tag of button div (line 57).
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
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.
@@imbayi Sir.... but if I just want a simple image resizer, for this, I am asked to download 100MBs software then I would definitely think that there should be some malware/spyware/resource consumer program also running with that software
I don't understand why. But around 59:35, the line "const resizeImg=require("resize-img")" removes the inspector window from the app. NAd I am not able to get it back.
can we put an entire react js app inside the rendered folder to make it work on the electron platform ?
for some reason when I do npx electronmon . it doesn't work the way it should (I only get the message: renderer file change: main.js)
When will the course-update be available?
Where can i get the electron course?
Is it still worth it learning angular now? I want to get in the IT market asap, Ive been 3 years as a trainee but doing support stuff
How to use SQL with electron? I'm trying to connect Sqlite but alas! Please shed some light on it
Great Video!
I never thought that Mark Wahlberg would be teaching me Electron
