Web development is challenging, but progressive web applications provide a significant advantage over traditional web applications by enabling capabilities such as installation to the device, offline access, and push notifications.

You’ll start by learning about PWAs and understanding the core tenets of a PWA. Next, you’ll learn to implement features like offline support, intercepting network requests, and app installation banners using service worker APIs. You’ll then progress to caching strategies for improved performance, IndexedDB for storing data locally, and background syncing for unstable networks. Finally, you’ll cover responsive web design and native-device APIs to make your PWA feel and look like a native app.

After completing this course, you can build progressive apps with engaging and responsive experiences. You’ll also be prepared to optimize your existing web apps as PWAs, extending their reach and improving performance.
