Progressive Web Apps (PWA) - The Complete Guide

🎉 Build a Progressive Web App (PWA) that feels like an iOS & Android App 🎉

🚀 What is a Progressive Web App (PWA)? A PWA bridges the gap between mobile apps and web pages, delivering mobile-app-like experiences to users without requiring them to install anything from the app store or play store. You'll be creating a web application using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, but with additional features like camera access 📸, service workers for offline support, push notifications 🛎️, and more!

Big companies like Twitter and the Washington Post have already embraced this technology, proving its significance in modern web development. Mastering PWAs will give you a competitive edge as the demand for these skills is only going to increase.
