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

Learning how to construct progressive web apps (PWAs) is the next obvious step for those of you who aim to build websites with a high volume of mobile visitors.

PWAs - one of the best books on web design, connect the worlds of mobile websites and mobile apps. While PWAs can be accessed through the browser and are searchable on the internet, they are more akin to applications and can take advantage of telephony capabilities (such as push notifications and geotargeting) in the same way as apps can. Not only that, but they're usually faster than websites and may be accessed by visitors even if their internet connection is patchy or non-existent.

Web developers and business executives will discover how—and why—to create web apps that take use of capabilities that have previously only been available in native apps. Fast load times, push alerts, offline access, home screen shortcuts, and a totally app-like experience are just a few of the features. Progressive web apps take advantage of the latest browser APIs to provide all of the benefits of native apps while avoiding the drawbacks. Author Tal Ater demonstrates how to transform a simple website for the fictional Gotham Imperial Hotel into a modern progressive web app throughout the book.
