Size Doesn’t Matter: Persistent Storage in HTML5
Advanced
Work Better

Overview

Learn about persistent, offline storage in JS and why it’s so much more than localStorage. Browser support for complex storage APIs is here; even if your storage needs are simple, you can leverage faster, async APIs to greatly improve your app’s performance.

In this talk, Matt will talk about IndexedDB and WebSQL, how he saved 100mb+ files offline in JavaScript, and the future of offline apps with ServiceWorkers. He will also explain why optimizing for offline makes your apps faster and easier to use and code.
