{"product_id":"books-cross-platform-desktop-applications-by-paul-b-jensen","title":"Cross-Platform Desktop Applications","description":"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.          ABOUT THE TECHNOLOGY   NW.js radically simplifies desktop development, providing a true crossplatform   development stack built on HTML, CSS and JavaScript, Node.js   modules, and the Chrome Blink engine.","brand":"World of Books ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53506587427089,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781617292842.jpg?v=1778114533","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/products\/books-cross-platform-desktop-applications-by-paul-b-jensen","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
