Desktop App Tutorial

Introduction to Desktop Apps

Welcome to this introductory tutorial on desktop apps. We’ll cover the basics of how to create, run, and understand these applications.

This is a foundational step, building from here!

This project is designed to be approachable.

Step 1: Project Setup

Create a new folder for your project. Name it something like 'DesktopAppTutorial'.

Inside the folder, create a file called 'main.js' (or whatever you prefer).

Step 2: Basic Code Structure

Open 'main.js' and add the following code:


    const app = {
      title: 'My Awesome App',
      message: 'Hello, World!',
      greet: function(name) {
        alert(name);
      }
    };


      This is the basic structure of your app.



    
      Step 3: Basic Console Log
      Add this code to 'main.js' to display a message in the console:
      
    console.log('Hello from the app!');
    

    This is a simple example of logging.
    


     
      Step 4:  Basic User Interaction (Example)
      Let's add a simple prompt to the user:
      
    const name = prompt("Enter your name:");
    if (name) {
      alert("Hello, " + name + "!");
    }
    

    This is a simple interaction.
    

    
      Step 5:  Final Touches (Optional)
      Add some styling, animations, or more sophisticated code.
