Learning Progressive Web Apps

by John M. Wargo

37,09€ + 10% CARD

 Use Service Workers to Turbocharge Your Web Apps <blockquote> "You have made an excellent decision in picking up this book. If I was just starting on my learning path to mastery of Progressive Web Apps, there are not many folks I would trust more to get me there than John." —Simon MacDonald, Developer Advocate, Adobe </blockquote>Software developers have two options for the apps they build: native apps targeting a specific device or web apps that run on any device. Building native apps is challenging, especially when your app targets multiple system types—i.e., desktop computers, smartphones, televisions—because user experience varies dramatically across devices. Service Workers—a relatively new technology—make it easier for web apps to bridge the gap between native and web capabilities. In Learning Progressive Web Apps, author John M. Wargo demonstrates how to use Service Workers to enhance the capabilities of a web app to create Progressive Web Apps (PWA). He focuses on the technologies that enable PWAs and how to use those technologies to enhance your web apps to deliver a more native-like experience. <ul> <li>Build web apps a user can easily install on their local system and that work offline or on low-quality networks</li> <li>Utilize caching strategies that give you control over which app resources are cached and when</li> <li>Deliver background processing in a web application</li> <li>Implement push notifications that enable an app to easily engage with users or trigger action from a remote server</li> </ul>Throughout the book, Wargo introduces each core concept and illustrates the implementation of each capability through several complete, operational examples. You’ll start with simple web apps, then incrementally expand and extend them with state-of-the-art features. All example source code is available on GitHub, and additional resources are available on the author’s companion site, <a href="http://learningpwa.com" target="" title="">learningpwa.com</a>.

 <blockquote> "This book contains everything you need to know to create awesome, life-altering applications. . . . I pride myself on knowing a lot about design, but when reading this book, I probably didn’t encounter a single page that didn’t offer at least one interesting idea, new concept, or clever design technique. It’s also written in a way that prevents you from putting it down. . . . You’re in for a treat." -From the Foreword by LUKAS MATHIS, author of <a title="" href="http://ignorethecode.net/" target="">ignorethecode.net</a> </blockquote> Transform Your Ideas into Intuitive, Delightful iOS Apps! As an app developer, you know design is important. But where do you start? Learning iOS Design will help you think systematically about the art and science of design, and consistently design apps that users will appreciate-and love. Pioneering Omni Group user experience expert William Van Hecke first explains what design really means, and why effective app design matters so much. Next, using a sample concept, he walks through transforming a vague idea into a fleshed-out design, moving from outlines to sketches, wireframes to mockups, prototypes to finished apps. Building on universal design principles, he offers practical advice for thinking carefully, critically, and cleverly about your own projects, and provides exercises to guide you step-by-step through planning your own app’s design. An accompanying website (<a title="" href="http://learningiosdesign.com/" target="">learningiosdesign.com</a>) provides professional-grade sketches, wireframes, and mockups you can study and play with to inspire your own new project. Coverage includes <ul> <li> <div style="MARGIN: 0px"> Planning and making sense of your app idea </div> </li> <li> <div style="MARGIN: 0px"> Exploring potential approaches, styles, and strategies </div> </li> <li> <div style="MARGIN: 0px"> Creating more forgiving, helpful, and effective interactions </div> </li> <li> <div style="MARGIN: 0px"> Managing the constraints of the iOS platform (or any platform) </div> </li> <li> <div style="MARGIN: 0px"> Crafting interfaces that are graceful, gracious, and consistently enjoyable to use </div> </li> <li> <div style="MARGIN: 0px"> Balancing concerns such as "focus versus versatility" and "friction versus guidance" </div> </li> <li> <div style="MARGIN: 0px"> Understanding why all designs are compromises-and how to find the best path for your own app </div></li> </ul> Register your book at <a title="" href="http://informit.com/register" target="">informit.com/register</a> to gain access to a supplemental chapter in which Bill Van Hecke discusses the design changes made in iOS 7.
