Cordova 9 Programming by Max Beerbohm Pdf

Cordova 9 ProgrammingEverything you need to know about Cordova ***PrefaceThis is a book about Apache Cordova 9, the leading framework for building native mobile applica-tions for multiple target platforms using HTML5 (HTML, JavaScript, and CSS). I created the book in order to help web developers and mobile developers understand how to use Apache Cordova to build hybrid applications for mobile devices. The book targets the specific capabilities pro-vided in Apache Cordova 9 and subsequent versions.The book is written for mobile developers who want to learn about Apache Cordova 9. If you're brand-new to Cordova, this book will be just what you need to get started. If you're experienced with an older version of Cordova, this book can act as a refresher, plus it will show you in detail how to use all of the new stuff that's in Cordova 9. You should have at least some experience with mobile development to directly benefit from this book. For web developers who want to get into mobile development using Apache Cordova, I've included content that shows you how to install and use the native SDKs, but I won't cover many native-specific topics.What you'll find in the book: -Lots of detailed information about Apache Cordova, what it does, how it works, and how to use the available tools and APIs-Lots of examples and code-Mobile web development and mobile development topics; this is a book about Apache Cordova, not mobile development-Expressions or phrases in languages other than English (I hate it when authors include expressions from Latin or French)-Obscure references to pop-culture topics (although there is an overt reference to Douglas Adams's Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and one obscure reference to Monty Python)-Pictures of my children or my petsThis is not a book for experienced Cordova 9developers-if you consider yourself an experi-enced Cordova developer, you probably should not buy this book.

Learning Progressive Web Apps by John M. Wargo Pdf

Use Service Workers to Turbocharge Your Web Apps “You have made an excellent decision in picking up this book. If I was just starting on my learning path to mastery of Progressive Web Apps, there are not many folks I would trust more to get me there than John.” —Simon MacDonald, Developer Advocate, Adobe Software developers have two options for the apps they build: native apps targeting a specific device or web apps that run on any device. Building native apps is challenging, especially when your app targets multiple system types—i.e., desktop computers, smartphones, televisions—because user experience varies dramatically across devices. Service Workers—a relatively new technology—make it easier for web apps to bridge the gap between native and web capabilities. In Learning Progressive Web Apps, author John M. Wargo demonstrates how to use Service Workers to enhance the capabilities of a web app to create Progressive Web Apps (PWA). He focuses on the technologies that enable PWAs and how to use those technologies to enhance your web apps to deliver a more native-like experience. Build web apps a user can easily install on their local system and that work offline or on low-quality networks Utilize caching strategies that give you control over which app resources are cached and when Deliver background processing in a web application Implement push notifications that enable an app to easily engage with users or trigger action from a remote server Throughout the book, Wargo introduces each core concept and illustrates the implementation of each capability through several complete, operational examples. You’ll start with simple web apps, then incrementally expand and extend them with state-of-the-art features. All example source code is available on GitHub, and additional resources are available on the author’s companion site, learningpwa.com.
