Offline First: Making Your App Awesome When the Network Isn't - Teri Chadbourne, Protocol Labs

Let’s get real; networks are flaky, and your awesome web app isn’t so impressive when you lose your connection. From healthcare solutions in the developing world to entertainment for the daily commute, the Offline First approach to web development is transforming the user experience. It’s time to stop treating shoddy connections as an error condition and start building with real-world network constraints in mind. In this beginner-friendly session, you’ll learn to build an offline-capable Progressive Web App using only client-side JavaScript and easy-to-use tools: PouchDB, Apache CouchDB™ and Service Worker. With this simple offline first approach, you’ll treat your users to a super-speedy app that shines in all network conditions and thrives in the real world.
