17:05 All you need to know about Push Notifications on the web
by Nico Martin, Freelancer / Web Developer

Push Notifications are a super powerful feature for an application to interact with its users. A feature that slowly also comes to the web-platform. This talk we will focus on the technology behind web push notifications and its current state in the web ecosystem. We will also learn how we can use the technology to create a positive experience that delivers real value to our users.

17:35 The Phantom of the App: Background Services
by Maxim Salnikov, Developer Engagement Lead at Microsoft

Your user closes the browser tab and your excellent frontend app immediately disappears. But what if you want to build even better UX by keeping a portion of your app always alive - to send & receive events, to finish network operations, and to run some code even when a user does not have your website open? During my session, let's explore all the possibilities we have in the Service Worker-driven APIs to create true Phantoms of our apps. All for good: to keep the app itself and content always fresh, network operations - resilient, and user - notified
