Desktop apps with Electron is a paid video course by Beyond Code, aimed at teaching web developers how to build cross-platform desktop apps with HTML, JavaScript, and CSS. The course centers on Electron, with the sample project being RegExpress, a desktop app for testing, debugging, and visualizing regular expressions. According to the course page, it includes 45 lessons totaling around 3 hours, with 40 core lessons and 5 additional licensing-related lessons in the Premium tier.
The course is delivered as pre-recorded videos. After purchase, you can stream the lessons on the dedicated course platform or download them. It covers the full Electron development workflow, including hot reloading, debugging, Vue Devtools, windows and menus, keyboard shortcuts, IPC communication, file reading and writing, background threads, integration testing, menu bar apps, app icons, building for multiple operating systems, GitHub distribution, GitHub Actions, Mac notarizing, error handling, and more. The Premium tier also includes offline license key validation, licensing UI, global state, the Quickstart Electron Boilerplate, and the example source code.
The instructor, Marcel Pociot, is the CTO of Beyond Code, a guest instructor on Laracasts, and has worked on developer tools and Electron apps such as Tinkerwell, HELO, and Invoker. For this course, that real-world product experience is a clear plus: it goes beyond simply getting an app to run and also covers productization topics such as auto-updates, distribution, licensing, and commercial sales.
The course is sold as a one-time purchase. The Essential plan costs $99, with a listed regular price of $149, and includes the 40 core lessons. Premium costs $149 and includes all lessons, the licensing chapters, the boilerplate project, and the source code. Prices exclude VAT. Payments are processed by Paddle; the course page mentions support for Visa, MasterCard, American Express, PayPal, and other methods, and invoices are provided.
The strengths are its clearly defined target audience, strong project-driven approach, and coverage of key steps from development through commercial distribution. It is well suited to indie developers who want to quickly build a practical understanding of Electron product development. The downsides are that the total runtime is only around 3 hours, making it more of a compact, hands-on introduction; there is no visible information about certificates, subtitles, Chinese-language support, community Q&A, or assignment review; and the sample tech stack leans toward VueJS and TailwindCSS, so React or other-stack users will need to adapt the concepts themselves.
This course is suitable for developers with a web development background who want to expand into desktop apps, as well as software makers preparing to build and sell small desktop tools. The course page does not provide information about access from China, and payment depends on overseas services such as Paddle/PayPal, so network and payment availability should be checked before purchase. Alternatives include the official Electron documentation, Electron Builder/Forge documentation, and courses on platforms such as Udemy and Pluralsight.
