Workshop Details

In this workshop, you will explore the different JavaScript APIs that grant access to hardware and platform features in modern web applications and PWAs. You will learn how to effectively utilize these APIs to enhance the capabilities of your apps and provide an improved user experience. The workshop covers modern APIs available in every browser and some experimental APIs working only on some devices.

You will understand how to enhance your user experience with voice, touch, accessing hardware, and integrating your web app with the underlying operating system -- blurring the lines between native and web apps.
