Chromium Embedded Framework (CEF) vs Electron

Hey there, we're back after a nice hot hot summer -

Desktop applications with a HTML5 UI is a trendy thing. But to do so you need a HTML rendering engine in your desktop applications. There are multiple frameworks and tools available that provide you with this. In this presentation, we'll take a look at the Chromium Embedded Framework (CEF).

While it is a C++ library it has wrappers for different back-end technologies as C, C++, Java, C# or Python. We will look into the general structure of a CEF application whilst using C# as the back-end programming language for the demo. But the same principles apply for any back-end language.

Why should you consider CEF as an alternative to Electron? Because it is more flexible and allows very powerful combinations of different technologies. If you want to know the details join the talk.
