 This video is an introduction to a new series I'm going to be working on where in the next video we'll be creating a very simple application using HTML5 and CSS and some JavaScript to create the front end and the back end can be any language you want and we will then package it or wrap it for distribution on different operating systems. We will look over different techniques to wrap this what would seem like a web application for local use whether it actually is all running locally or just appears to be running locally when really it's contacting your server on the internet. There's many techniques to do this but we'll be going over different options depending on your situation some easier than others some will be completely cross-platform some will be very specific to particular operating systems but your application itself will not change your core program does not have to be rewritten or modified if written properly in the beginning and not only will be doing this for desktop applications once again I'll show you how to package it in certain areas that are completely cross-platform so you can wrap your HTML documents with whatever language is the back end for use on Linux, Mac or Windows and they'll all be a cross-platform way of packaging it may have to recompile and of course have some libraries included in there for that and then other ways will be specific to operating systems I think I already said that but we will also be going over mobile devices I will show you a very easy way to take your application and make a package for iPhone Android, Windows Mobile and many other mobile platforms and it's actually made very simple there are projects out there to do this for you and I will also probably do a video on manually creating a wrapper for your application for Android if you want to do it manually so I hope you find this series interesting because it's going to be what I'll be doing every Friday for the next two to three months and longer if people really seem interested in it and I can find other ways of doing the same thing over and over again but definitely if you're not already watching the playlist click on the annotation that should be on the screen somewhere that will bring you to the playlist and again I will be releasing the first basic video on creating our basic application same day I'm releasing this intro video and then every Friday for the next few months we'll look at a different technique to wrap that application for distribution to make this what would seem like a web application make it appear to be a standalone local application so I hope that you enjoy this I hope you visit my site www.filmsbychrist.com be sure to click on the annotation for the playlist and I hope that you have a great day
