Lesson 2: Setting up Inno Setup and PHP Desktop Chrome | Armstrong Computers
🎉 Welcome to Lesson 2 of our Desktop Calculator series! If you followed along with Lesson 1, you now have a solid understanding of how to create a fully functional calculator using HTML and CSS. You also learned the difference between inline CSS and external CSS.
👉 In Today’s Lesson
We’ll take things further by transforming our web calculator into a desktop application using two powerful tools:
PHP Desktop Chrome – a lightweight tool to run web applications on your desktop
Inno Setup – a software installer that packages everything up nicely for easy installation.
By the end of this lesson, you’ll not only know how to download and configure these tools but also be able to apply them to your calculator project. 🧑💻💡
Bonus Tip!
I’ll also answer a common question from the comments section: "How can I make the calculator’s delete button remove numbers one by one?" This is a key feature that makes the calculator more intuitive, and I’ll guide you through the code to implement it!
