Performance Tuning Your Progressive Web App (PWA)

Speaker: Josh Holmes, Microsoft

Abstract:
Your users deserve a fast and responsive web app and PWAs help you step that up a notch through notifications, offline support and more. There’s a lot that goes into that from understanding how the DOM tree works and how that plays with CSS and JavaScript to how to leverage the ServiceWorker for cashing and push notifications.

In this talk, we’ll build a PWA that show cases many of the things you need to keep in mind when building a great and fast progressive web app.
