Interested in Electron? Not sure where to start? You're in luck, because I have spent multiple weeks squeezing the most important lessons learned while building Electron apps at Microsoft, Slack, and Ghost into a short guide. Over 55 pages, I explain why Electron is as popular as it is today, how one would go about building a little code editor, and what kind of troubles I have encountered building major production apps.

Published with O'Reilly, the short guide ["Introducing Electron"](https://www.safaribooksonline.com/library/view/introducing-electron/9781491996041/?ref=felixrieseberg.com) is available through Safari, O'Reilly's subscription service.

If you are just interested in the code, [you can find the materials and examples directly on GitHub](https://github.com/felixrieseberg/introducing-electron-editor/?ref=felixrieseberg.com).
