Treehouse livecoding beeware and exploring crystal

treehouse livecoding is a platform where developers can livestream their coding sessions and interact with viewers in real-time. this allows for a collaborative learning experience as viewers can ask questions, provide suggestions, and learn best practices directly from experienced developers.

beeware is a set of tools and libraries that allow you to build native mobile and desktop applications using only python. this means you can write your code in python and deploy it as a standalone application on various platforms without the need for additional languages or frameworks.

crystal is a statically-typed programming language that is designed for performance and developer productivity. it has a syntax similar to ruby but with a focus on speed and efficiency. crystal compiles to native code, making it suitable for building high-performance applications.

now, let's explore how you can combine beeware and crystal to create a simple application. we will create a basic command-line tool using crystal and package it as a standalone executable using beeware's briefcase tool.

first, make sure you have crystal and beeware installed on your system. you can find installation instructions on their respective websites.

save the file and then compile it using the crystal compiler:

this will generate an executable file named `hello`. now, let's use beeware's briefcase tool to package this executable for different platforms.

install briefcase using pip:

create a new directory for your beeware project and navigate into it:

run briefcase to create a new beeware project:

follow the prompts to set up your project. when asked for the app template, choose "empty briefcase app".

next, copy the `hello` executable generated by crystal into the `beeware_crystal_example` directory.

now, run briefcase ...
