# Quick Start
|
|
|
|
Electron enables you to create desktop applications with pure JavaScript by
|
|
providing a runtime with rich native (operating system) APIs. You could see it
|
|
as a variant of the Node.js runtime that is focused on desktop applications
|
|
instead of web servers.
|
|
|
|
The old "Quick Start" document that used to live here has been split up into
|
|
two documents:
|
|
|
|
* To check out how a simple Electron app is built, see
|
|
[Writing Your First Electron App][first-app]
|
|
* To check out the process architecture, see
|
|
[Main and Renderer Processes][processes].
|
|
|
|
If you just came here to learn about Electron, check out the
|
|
[official guides][readme].
