About this Guided Project

Do you know that research shows that progressive web apps can increase user engagement by 180%?

In this 1.5-hour long project-based course, you will learn the basics of creating a progressive web application (PWA) from an existing website using JavaScript. We will start by creating a barebone PWA and then add offline functionalities and also response time optimization. Progressive web apps are ideal solutions to deploy existing web-based applications to different platforms rapidly with minimal coding. It also provides additional functionalities such as being able to function with little to no internet connectivity. This course is aimed at learners with these existing skills: HTML - intermediate level including tags, attributes, forms, resource linking. JavaScript - intermediate level including DOM, async functions, function expressions, promises.

Learn step-by-step

In a video that plays in a split-screen with your work area, your instructor will walk you through these steps:

Task 1: Introduction and Getting Started
Task 2: Create the Progressive Web App
Task 3: Make the PWA Usable When Offline
Optional: Practice Task
Task 4: Receive Push Notifications
Task 5: Improve Responsiveness
Optional: Cumulative Challenge
