May Meetup - The Zombie Service Worker

​Welcome to the GlasgowJS May Meetup! We’ll be meeting on Tuesday 12th May, 18:30 at the University of Strathclyde Teaching and Learning Building Room 330. We will have socialising and networking with your fellow JavaScript developers with drinks and pizza followed by a talk from Yevhen Husak on "The Zombie Service Worker":

> This is the story of a service worker that was deployed, reverted, and forgotten in a single day. Four months later, after a major product launch, 25k+ users started seeing an application that no longer existed.
> In this talk, you'll learn how service workers actually work — through an incident that turned into a detective story. Misleading clues, a red herring that cost us days, and a Catch-22 that prevented the fix from reaching anyone.
> Every wrong turn in the investigation reveals a service worker concept — by the time we kill the zombie, you'll know exactly how it stayed alive.
> And I'll leave you with the strategies we wish we'd had — so you can use service workers confidently without creating your own zombie.

​People with all levels of experience are welcome - from Senior developers to people who are just taking their first steps with JavaScript.
