Offline-first apps with PouchDB

Offline-first apps with PouchDB

Web and mobile apps shouldn't stop working when there's no network connection. PouchDB is an open source syncing JavaScript database that runs within a web browser. Offline-first apps built using PouchDB can provide a better, faster user experienceboth on- and offline. Bradley Holt demonstrates how to use PouchDB and CouchDB to build offline-enabled web and mobile apps.

Web and mobile apps shouldn’t stop working when there’s no network connection. Bradley Holt demonstrates how to use the HTML5 offline application cache, PouchDB, and CouchDB to build offline-enabled responsive mobile and web apps. Based on Apache CouchDB, PouchDB is an open source syncing JavaScript database that runs within a web browser. Offline-first apps built using PouchDB can provide a better, faster user experience—both on- and offline. Bradley discusses how to use PouchDB with Cordova/PhoneGap, Ionic, and CouchDB to build fully-featured, cross-platform native/hybrid apps or high-fidelity prototypes. PouchDB can also be run within Node.js and on devices for Internet of Things (IoT) applications. Bradley provides code examples for creating a PouchDB database, creating a new document, updating a document, deleting a document, querying a database, syncing PouchDB with a remote database, and live updates to a user interface based on database changes. Bradley will also discuss user-interface patterns for offline-first apps.

Web cryptography workshop

Web cryptography workshop

October 13, 2019

The Internet's security depends on cryptography. People use "secure" websites to take advantage of current cryptography methods. But what if users can't (or don't want to) trust the web server with their secrets? Web-page authors can use the Web Cryptography API to give their users end-to-end secrecy and authentication through web servers, not just to them. Charles and Laurie will show you how.
