In this chapter, you discovered how NW.js works under the hood, the recommended tools for development, a few usage scenarios of the library, and eventually, how to run your first, simple application using third-party modules of Node.js. I really hope I haven't bored you too much with the theoretical concepts underlying the functioning of NW.js; I really did my best to keep it short.

In the following chapter, we will be much more operational and discover how to interact with the operating system thanks to the Native UI APIs of NW.js. In Chapter 2, NW.js Native UI APIs, you will indeed discover how to handle multiple windows, work with file dialogs, create custom menus, and much, much more!
