Tame your Service Worker
by Maxim Salnikov, Full-stack Developer at ForgeRock, Google Developer Expert, Microsoft MVP

I'll show the examples of how easy the "Progressive" part of the PWA term could become "Regressive" and how to fix this. The session includes advanced techniques and edge use cases.

How to not break your site with Service Workers
by James Milner, Fullstack Developer at 3D Repo

The advent of Service Workers has brought a lot of additional power to web applications. In conjunction with the Cache API the two can allow developers to override the default network request behaviour of the browser, augmenting it with their own logic and caching workflows. In this talk we will see the potential ways you could end up doing something adverse for your users in your app (if even by accident!) and how you can avoid these potential pitfalls.

About the speaker:
James is a Fullstack Developer at 3D Repo, a London based startup.

PWAs - more than lighter mobile apps
by Christian Heilmann, Senior Program Manager in Microsoft

There is a lot of confusion about what Progressive Web Apps are and if everything we do now should be one. Let's talk instead about what the tech stack that allows for PWAs can solve a lot of problems across the board - desktop apps, mobile apps and web sites. PWAs are a great opportunity to refresh what we do already, not build another round of apps in a different format that may be obsolete by the time we release.

About the speaker:
Chris Heilmann dedicated the last 20 years of his life to make the web work and thrive. As a lead developer on some of the largest web products he learned that knowledge is not enough without teamwork and good handover. He dedicated most of his time since on educating, writing and sharing, presenting on average at 30 conferences a year. He strives to make code and coders work efficiently and get more done quickly without losing the understanding of what we do. He is the author of several JavaScript books and the Developer Evangelism handbook (http://developer-evangelism.com). He is currently a Senior Program Manager in Microsoft and spends a lot of time pondering how machine learning and AI can aid humans and replace jobs we're too important to do.
