Aaron gives a brief background on his work in the web community, explains to listeners how web standardization has evolved over time, where Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) come from, where and how can they be installed, differences between them and regular websites and their advantages. They then delve into more technical details about service workers, factors affecting the boot up time of JavaScript apps, best practices and features that are available with PWAs. </div><div>Aaron mentions some resources people can use to learn about PWAs, talks about how every website can benefit from being a PWA, new features being introduced and the PWA vs Electron comparison. In the end, they also talk about life in general, that understanding what people have gone through and empathizing with them is important, as well as not making judgements based on people’s background, gender, race, health issues and so on.</div><div><strong>Links</strong></div><ul> <li><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Creating-Enhancing-Netscape-Web-Pages/dp/0789708760??ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1548462018&amp;sr=8-1&amp;linkCode=ll1&amp;tag=devchattv-20&amp;linkId=f06bfe7482dca8bb751ed6d7cc86e2ab&amp;language=en_US">Creating &amp; Enhancing Netscape Web Pages</a></li> <li><a href="https://alistapart.com/">A List Apart</a></li> <li><a href="https://cloudfour.com/thinks/a-progressive-roadmap-for-your-progressive-web-app/">A Progressive Roadmap for your Progressive Web App</a></li> <li><a href="https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/pwa">Windows Dev Center - Progressive Web Apps</a></li> <li><a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Progressive_web_apps">MDN web docs</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.pwastats.com/">PWA Stats</a></li> <li><a href="https://twitter.com/pwastats?lang=en">PWA Stats Twitter</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.aaron-gustafson.com/">Aaron’s website</a></li> <li><a href="https://twitter.com/aarongustafson?lang=en">Aaron’s Twitter</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.facebook.com/javascriptjabber/">https://www.facebook.com/javascriptjabber/</a></li> <li><a href="https://twitter.com/JSJabber">https://twitter.com/JSJabber</a></li> </ul><div><strong>Picks</strong></div><div>Aaron Gustafson:</div><ul> <li><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/27071490-homegoing">Homegoing</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6512154-zeitoun">Zeitoun</a></li> </ul><div>Charles Max Wood:</div><ul><li> <a href="https://www.audible.com/pd/Armada-Audiobook/B00VN0Q8XY">Armada</a> </li></ul><div>Special Guest: Aaron Gustafson.</div> </div> Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/javascript-jabber/donations Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
