Year round learning for product, design and engineering professionals

Video Ristretto: Service Worker, Chris Roberts

At the heart of Progressive Web Apps from the perspective of a developer are two pieces of technology: Web Manifests and Service Workers.

We’ve covered Service Worker more than once at Web Directions, and I suspect we’ll do so again, but this week we bring you the most succinct session we’ve had on it to date, from Code 2015, by Chris Roberts.

So if you’ve not bitten the bullet and delved into it more deeply, now’s your chance. And when you’re done, why not register for our Code conference, in Sydney or Melbourne, where we cover all sorts of stuff like this in depth, including Web Manifests, the other key technology enabling Progressive Web Apps.
