- Tips: When running git checkout, using '-' as the argument (git checkout -) takes you back to the branch you were last on, hub makes it easier to work with github on the command line. Tab completion is especially helpful, and fetch all PRs if you do a lot of PR reviews, this can be really helpful. It downloads all new PRs as branches whenever you fetch

Description:
A Progressive Web App "uses modern web capabilities to deliver an app-like user experience. They evolve from pages in browser tabs to immersive, top-level apps, leveraging the web's low friction." The JavaScript Air website uses some of these techniques and technologies. Let's learn about this awesome stuff!

Henrik Joreteg
- Links: Introducing Pokedex.org: a progressive webapp for Pokémon fans, Mozilla's SW Cookbook, sw-toolbox (so much good stuff here), and Background Sync
- Tips: Sometimes it's just easier to disable registering SW in development. Just helps when you're trying to build/fix other parts of the site., It's very important to test your update process when deploying new versions of apps with SW. It's possible to “brick” a web app since if you successfully register a SW, then push an update that has a JS error that prevents your SW registration code from running. Pushing a new version won't fix it because it won't register the new SW and keeps serving the broken code from the previous SW. , and It's early to say this, but I think GraphQL will eventually replace REST as dominant http API approach for applications.
- Picks: I <3 reselect for Redux apps
Ada Rose Edwards
- Links: Caching best practices & max-age gotchas by Jake Archibald, My stupidest webapp, and The FT’s webapp
- Tips: If you do 'network first' routes in the service worker, fallback set a timeout to wait for the response and if it fails respond with cached or fallback content. This keeps the app responsive when the device is "online" but no data is going anywhere this stops infinite loading spinners when connected to captive portals, or have low phone signal. I do 2-5s timeout usually.
- Picks: sw-toolbox, sw-precache, and lighthouse

- Tips: Chrome Canary now has an “Application” tab showing PWA and storage information, Chrome Canary has a “clear all storage” button (so handy!), and sw-precache and sw-toolbox are awesome, see web-starter-kit for a full working app that uses them
- Picks: Hoop Dreams (1994 documentary)

- Links: CORS for Concern by Paul Lewis and Infographic on Service Worker
- Tips: Make sure you use waitUntil() for any async operations outside of respondWith(). Many examples will try to do things like cache resources after resolving the respondWith() promise without calling waitUntil(). The browser can kill the worker before these async operations complete. You may not see this in development, though, because the browser sometimes keeps the worker alive with devtools open.

Description:
We've heard about GraphQL quite a bit. We know that there are problems with REST and GraphQL solves many of those problems. But now we have a new problem: Transitioning from REST to GraphQL. Let's talk about what it takes to do that well and how services need to adapt to this new way of thinking about data access.
