THIS IS NOT A NEW IDEA
“ The full Safari engine is inside of iPhone. And so, you can write amazing Web 2.0 and Ajax apps that look exactly and behave exactly like apps on the iPhone. And these apps can integrate perfectly with iPhone services. — Steve Jobs, 2007
“ The fundamental problem on the iPhone is not Apple’s App Store approval policies, but the iPhone developers’ arrogant disdain for Web technologies. I reviewed the apps I have on my iPhone, and most can be released as a Web app right now. — Peter Paul Koch, 2009

“ Application Cache is a Douchebag! — Jake Archibald

if ('serviceWorker' in navigator) { navigator.serviceWorker.register('/sw.js'); }

THE SERVICE WORKER RUNS JAVASCRIPT CODE :-)
sw.js self.addEventListener('install', function(event) { // Perform install steps });
sw.js self.addEventListener('install', function(event) { event.waitUntil( caches.open('v1').then(function(cache) { return cache.addAll([ '/index.html', '/styles/main.css', '/scripts/main.js' ]); }) ); });
return cache.addAll([ '/index.html', '/styles/main.css', '/scripts/main.js' ]); }) sw.js ); }); self.addEventListener('fetch', function(event) { // Intercept network requests });
return cache.addAll([ '/index.html', '/styles/main.css', '/scripts/main.js' ]); }) sw.js ); }); self.addEventListener('fetch', function(event) { event.respondWith( caches.match(event.request) .then(function(response) { if (response) { return response; } return fetch(event.request); } ) ); });
THE SERVICE WORKER IS INDEPENDENT OF YOUR WEBPAGE

PUSH NOTIFICATIONS
WEB PUSH API WEB PUSH PROTOCOL WEB NOTIFICATIONS SERVICE WORKERS
navigator.serviceWorker.ready.then(function(sw) { sw.pushManager.subscribe().then(function(subscription) { // Send subscription to server }) })
Send the subscription data to our server, including the URL of the push server
The webpage is closed and the service worker is sleeping
The server has new information for the user
The server sends a message to the push server using the Web Push protocol
The push server wakes up the service worker
self.addEventListener('push', function(event) { // We received a push message });
(optional)
self.registration.showNotification('Attention!', { body: 'Push message received', icon: 'icon.png' }); (optional)
The webpage is still closed and the service worker is sleeping again

WEB PAYMENTS
Start payment process by clicking a button in your app
Start payment process by clicking a button in your app var methodData = [ { supportedMethods: ["visa", "mastercard"] } ];
var details = { displayItems: [ { label: "Donation", amount: { currency: "USD", value : "55.00" } } ], total: { label: "Total", amount: { currency: "USD", value : "55.00" } } }; Start payment process by clicking a button in your app
var request = new PaymentRequest( methodData, // required payment method data details // required transaction information );
request.show().then(function(response) { // success }).catch(function(err) { // failed });
Select your payment method or use the default
Enter your CVC code or confirm with your fingerprint
Done!

THANK YOU! @HTML5TEST
No, this title is not a typo. This talk is about Web Apps in general. We look back to the past of Web Apps and we’re going to look how we can create native apps using web technologies. Of course we’re going to look at the future too. Progressive Web Apps – what are they? And is the web now finally able to challenge native app development?
