Native Desktop App with Node.js Webkit (HTML, CSS & Javascript)
26 likes18,932 views
This document introduces Node-Webkit, which allows developers to create desktop applications using JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. Node-Webkit packages Node.js and Webkit to build executable applications for Windows and Mac. While the initial packaging was clumsy, the Grunt-Node-Webkit-Builder tool now simplifies building and testing updated Node-Webkit applications. Developing cross-platform desktop apps traditionally requires different technologies like Java Swing and is difficult, but Node-Webkit enables using a single code base for desktop apps.
