Progressive Web Apps with Alex Russell, Owen Campbell-Moore, and Nathan Schloss

Learn about Progressive Web Apps and the Future of Mobile Services from Alex Russell, Owen Campbell-Moore, Nathan Schloss, and Martin Thomson at this exciting SFHTML5 event.

Talk #1 Progressive Web Apps with Alex Russell

Is the status quo of building services and apps for mobile two or three times really sustainable? Wasn't technology supposed to liberate us from this sort of drudgery?

Progressive Web Apps give us a path to a better world that doesn't force us to write our app yet another time. We'll examine why you might build such a thing, what it takes to do it right, and strategies for getting the best mobile experience everywhere, today.

Talk #3 HTTPS SUX

The next generation of web APIs will require that you serve your site over HTTPS. But HTTPS sux. It's slow, costly, and requires constant attention. This talk will explain how these shortcomings are each legitimate in their way and share some of the upcoming changes that will end most of the gripes people have with HTTPS.
