Progressive Web Apps: Sensor Integrations

PWAs promise all the user experience of a native application but delivered with standard web technologies. This course will show you how to leverage Handset Sensors such as Camera, Geo, and Network to deliver a great mobile experience over the web.

At the core of delivering truly native-feeling PWA user experiences is a thorough knowledge of integrating local handset sensors. In Progressive Web Apps: Sensor Integrations, you’ll learn how to leverage over a dozen local handset sensors to deliver truly native-feeling applications. First, you’ll explore Geo sensors to identify user location, identify local landmarks and even offer navigation through Google Maps. Next, you’ll learn how to capture photos, audio, and video and play them on your handset to create a video diary. Finally, you’ll discover how to sense network availability and speed to architect and deliver compelling offline experiences, syncing back online when the network returns. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have a foundational knowledge of all common PWA Sensor Integration Points that will help you deliver native-feeling cross-platform applications using modern web technologies.
