Key benefits

Understand why PWAs are important and what they solve
Learn core PWA concepts and how to implement them in an existing application or build from scratch
Practical in-depth lessons about service workers, the Fetch API, promises, push notifications, caching, and app manifests.
Learn how to turn a Single Page Applications (SPAs) into a PWA.

Description

This course teaches you how to build discoverable and engaging progressive web applications (PWAs) using the Cache API to make it offline-ready and blazingly fast service workers to intercept network requests and web app manifests, thus leveraging native-like features. We begin by introducing the core concepts of progressive web apps, explaining each of them in detail and finishing up by implementing them into a production-ready app. A service worker is the main PWA tool. In this course, you will master the power of new APIs including the Fetch API, promises, and more. Don't lose your users when their internet connection is lost; get hands-on with powerful caching and network request strategies to provide synchronization of data while your app is offline. Learn how to improve user engagement with your apps by adding push notifications. We also cover app manifests in depth to let your users add your application to their mobile home screen and reopen the app as easily as tabbing on the web app icon, just as with other native mobile apps. They'll also surf while there is no address bar; the user experience feels like a native mobile app due to the addition of a splash screen, application shell, native default color, and more. https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Progressive-Web-Application-Development
