Sisältö

A Progressive Web Application (PWA) is a web application that is using web technologies but feels like an app. PWA's are easy to maintain as they take advantage of the web ecosystem.

Advantages of a PWA:
- Uses web technologies
- Works offline
- Is responsive
- No app store needed as they can be easily installed directly from the brosser
- Is easy to deploy and maintain

At the end of course you will be able to convert a simple UI design to an app that can be installed on the homescreen of your Android or iOS device and even as a Mac app if you're using a recent version of Google Chrome.

This course isn't focused on back-end web development. We will be using JSON server, a Node.js package that will generate a full fake REST API.
