Making Electron Development Simpler, More Pleasant, and More Productive

When you combine the best of web and native with a framework like Electron, you give your app superpowers – but, with great power comes great responsibility. Taking a hybrid approach to application development brings with it a unique set of challenges. Machisté Quintana, Software Engineer at Slack, will teach about the tools the Slack team has developed to help reduce friction in Electron development, letting you use the latest and greatest from the web community (like React, ES2016+, TypeScript, Less, and more) natively in Electron, from local development through production, all without breaking a sweat.
