Electron is fundamentally a packaging system, not a programming environment. It let's you write a web app in HTML, JavaScript, and CSS and deploy it as a desktop app on all three OS platforms.
So, to learn Electron, you just need to learn web programming, which is useful for nearly all programmers. One super cool thing about Electron is that you can package up any frameworks or other dependencies inside your same desktop app, giving you the whole world of web development tools and techniques without making your end user install any of them.
