[dba-Tech] Write once run everywhere

[Jim Lawrence]

I have been doing some playing with the new Electron App. It is a way to build complex application, once compiled, can run on any desktop. The apps built by this application can run from your desktop and not only use the local features but can be extended off through the web.

Here is a video for learning how to use the Electron framework named: Learn Electron in Less than 60 Minutes - Free Beginner's Course:

Be able to build a stand-alone desktop application that can run across the internet without a browser, that can be written on a Microsoft VB Studio editor. 

Aside: the VB studio editor is based on the Electron framework (but used a different compile engine than ATOM), using TypeScript‎, ‎JavaScript‎, ‎CSS, NodeJS etc and its compiled code will run on all platforms.

Note: the VB studio editor supports coding in over 50 languages! (Just about every language listed the goalkicker website...)

...the entire source code can be downloaded used in any application or just viewed for learning purposes:

Below is a link to a few popular apps that have been written in Electron:
