[Video] Building Chrome Packaged Apps

Were you among the hundreds that joined us yesterday for the Chrome Packaged Apps webcast?

If yes, thanks for joining! We hope you learned something and enjoyed the demos presented by Paul Kinlan (@Paul_Kinlan) and Burke Holland (@burkeholland).

If no, don’t worry! We recorded the entire event and it is now available on YouTube. For background, yesterday Kendo UI and Google joined forces to co-present a webcast focused on building Chrome Packaged Apps with Kendo UI. Google Developer Advocate Paul Kinlan provided an essential introduction to Packaged Apps, and Kendo UI Developer Advocate Burke Holland followed to show you how to begin building your first Packaged App using Kendo UI. It’s everything you need to go from Chrome Packaged Apps n00b to hax0r in 60 minutes.

You can watch the complete event on Kendo UI’s YouTube channel now (or watch the embedded video below).

If you want even more Package App info, don’t miss the new dedicated page on KendoUI.com (kendoui.com/chrome) designed especially for Chrome Packaged App developers (or those interested in the new platform). And if you’re still wondering what’s the big deal about Packaged Apps, be sure to read my recent post, “Desktop Apps: The Final Frontier for HTML5.” Hopefully that will help.
