This installment of KarlsruheJS will be a one of our famous themed events. The last time we did this it was all about Hoodie (http://hood.ie). This time we are talking ✨ Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) ✨!

We have two great speakers lined up for you. Steffen Jahr (http://twitter.com/steffenjahr) will be giving an introduction to PWAs and Robin Mehner (http://twitter.com/rmehner) – organizer of BerlinJS (http://berlinjs.org/) among other things – is giving a real world account of building PWAs out in the wild.

Major big ups to EXXETA (http://exxeta.de) for hosting and sponsoring this event.

AGENDA

19:00: Intro by Kahlil Lechelt (http://twitter.com/kahliltweets) and Manuel Rauber (http://twitter.com/manuelrauber)

19:15: 17 months as a Digital Nomad by Eugene Terehov (http://twitter.com/eugeneterehov)

ABSTRACT
I left Germany in March 2016 without much of a clue what was going to happen, yet having big dreams. Today, 17 months later I worked and lived in 8 countries (Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam, New Zealand, Australia, Hungary and Estland), launched two new Start Ups, met awesome people from all other the world and saved one little dog with two broken legs. These are my learnings and a little bit of inspiration: We have the perfect job to shoot for our dreams!

19:35: Progressive Web Apps - Make The Web Native by Steffen Jahr (http://twitter.com/steffenjahr)

ABSTRACT
What are PWAs and how can I build one? The term PWA describes the technologies you can use to develop a new type of web application. Push notifications, offline possibilities and installable apps are only a few of the application's properties. But there is more...

Steffen Jahr from Thinktecture will give you a short overview about Progressive Web Apps and their features.

20:05: Break! 🍕 & 🍺

20:45: Progressive Web App, ???, ~~Profit~~ Reality by Robin Mehner (http://twitter.com/rmehner)

ABSTRACT
In mid 2016 we set out to build a progressive web app to help people in Africa fight their diabetes and live a better life. The road was bumpy and filled with bugs, misunderstandings, browser challenges, spacer-GIFs and wrong documentation, but eventually we were ready for launch! Only, our enthusiasm didn't last long as we've took a big hit from reality.

In this talk I'll recap our experiences building a PWA, share our learnings, highlight some of the mistakes we made and tell you what saved us in the end.

21:15: Hang out...
