Progressive Web Applications (PWAs) are a cutting-edge approach to web development that brings the best of both web and mobile applications into one unified experience. By leveraging modern web technologies, PWAs are designed to be reliable, fast, and engaging, offering users an app-like experience directly from their web browser.
One of the most significant advantages of PWAs is their ability to work offline and provide seamless interactions, even in areas with poor network connectivity. This is achieved through the use of service workers, which act as a proxy between the application and the network. PWAs also enable users to install web applications to their home screens without going through an app store, providing quick access and re-engagement opportunities through push notifications.
In this lesson, we’ll explore the core concepts, techniques, and tools needed to build a Progressive Web Application from the ground up. We’ll start with the fundamentals and progressively move towards more advanced topics, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of what it takes to create a successful PWA.
