Building Progressive Web Apps: Bringing the Power of Native to the Browser 1st Edition

Move over native apps. New progressive web apps have capabilities that will make you soon obsolete. With this hands-on guide, web developers and business execs will learn how-and why-to develop web apps that take advantage of features that have been so far exclusive to native apps. Features that include fast load times, push notifications, offline access, homescreen shortcuts, and an entirely app-like experience.

By leveraging the latest browser APIs, progressive web apps combine all of the benefits of native apps, while avoiding their issues. Throughout the book, author Tal Ater shows you how to improve a simple website for the fictional Gotham Imperial Hotel into a modern progressive web app.
