Who this book is for

This book has been written for any developers interested in creating desktop applications with HTML5. The first two chapters require essential web-master skills (HTML, CSS, and JavaScript) and the basics of Node.js. This part of the book includes a crash course on npm, which will be used across the book to build and run examples, given that you have experience with the command line in your OS (Linux, macOS, or Windows). The next four chapters welcome a minimal experience with React. And finally, for the last two chapters, it would be helpful to have a basic knowledge of TypeScript.
