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. Tools are always helpful while developing software; therefore, this course teaches you how to boost your productivity by using Workbox, to make service worker management a lot easier, and Lighthouse, to show your PWA score demonstrate and how you can achieve 100/100. All of the topics in this course feed into a practical project which, by the end of the course, is ready to deploy to production. To ensure that the app is useful for any kind of project later and also that you can learn everything in depth, the course project is created in pure JS/CSS/HTML. Last but not least, SPAs (Single Page Applications) are super-critical as these days they perform such a leading role in web development and building hybrid and native mobile apps. Therefore, this course dedicates a section to show you how you can use Angular, React, Ember, and Vue.js to build a progressive web application. All the code and supporting files for this course are available on Github at https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Progressive-Web-Application-Development

Who is this book for?

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter. The new chapters are automatically added to your account, so you can also check back there any time you're ready and download or read them online.

What is Early Access? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created. With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.
