Professionally produced and is easy to follow his instruction.

A little slow starting out, but so am I.
It's filling in some gaps.

By Lucas Kurz on 11/1/2020

Some use-cases would help to understand the different API-functions better. It's hard to understand on how things could be useful when there is only shown how to do it just to show it.
Besides that everything is described in a very good and understandable way.

Code window's text is too small. Users who have low internet will struggle a lot as the text is almost not visible.

Best Electron course, so get ready to learn a lot about Electron in this course!
Ray does a tremendously good job on explaining various concepts behind building an Electron app. After going through all the lessons, you'll have a chance to review them by working on a project. By the end of this course, you will have a great foundation on Electron framework.
This course is regularly updated to work with the latest version of Electron, which is a huge plus, since other courses on this subject seem to either lack some major updates on security and cross-platform compatibility. Each lesson is demonstrated using Vanilla JS, so there is no need to be familiar with any modern front-end framework like Angular, React, or VueJS.
If you are having trouble deciding which Electron course to take or you are completely new to Electron, take this course.
