Coding Period Week 8

Initializing the Electron Structure and Redirecting the Academy

In the following week, I initialized the basic structure of how the Electron would work. This involved creating a new project, installing the necessary dependencies, and setting up the basic files and folders. I also created a simple script that would redirect the Academy website to the Electron app. This allowed me to test the app and make sure that it was working properly.

Packaging and Serving the Electron App as an EXE File

Once the app was working properly, I needed to package it so that users could download and install it on their own computers. I did this by using the Electron Packager tool. The Packager tool allowed me to create a distributable EXE file that contained all of the necessary files and dependencies for the app to run.

Trial and Error

The process of initializing the Electron structure and redirecting the Academy was not without its challenges. I encountered a number of errors along the way, which I had to troubleshoot. I also had to make a number of changes to the code in order to get everything working properly. However, after multiple trial and error, I was eventually able to get the app working as desired.

Work Done

• Initial structure: Lay the foundation of the desktop application by creating the necessary files and folders.
• Packing the structure: Create a distributable version of the application by packaging the initial structure.
• validating the working: Test the application to make sure that it is working properly.

Learnings

-The importance of trial and error. The process of initializing the Electron structure and redirecting the Academy was not without its challenges. I encountered a number of errors along the way, which I had to troubleshoot. I also had to make a number of changes to the code in order to get everything working properly. However, after multiple trial and error, I was eventually able to get the app working as desired. This experience taught me the importance of perseverance and not giving up when things get tough.

-The importance of documentation. The Electron framework has a lot of documentation available, but it can be overwhelming to know where to start. I found it helpful to read the documentation carefully and to take notes on the things that I didn’t understand. I also found it helpful to search for other people’s experiences with Electron. This helped me to learn from others and to avoid making the same mistakes.

Plan for Next week

• Write a Script for the User to run App
