Progressive Web App Workshop

Let’s connect with PWAs! Progressive Web Apps seek to bridge the gap between native Android & iOS apps and the Web. Learn about the APIs available in today’s mobile devices that enable you to leverage web technologies to deliver app-like experiences without having to write a line of Kotlin or Swift.

We’ll cover many of the APis that make Progressive Web Apps possible while building a dating web app for cats. Topics include:

  • Installable PWAs
  • Offline mode with Service Workers
  • Geolocation
  • Capturing photos from the camera
  • Photo uploading
  • Voice recordings
  • Push Notifications

You’ll leave this full-day workshop armed with the hands-on experience to deliver a PWA that starts fast and stays fast.
