Creating a good Progressive Web App is not just about the user interface, but also about understanding the platform, what's possible, and how to make a proper integration with the operating system.

In this course, Advanced Progressive Web Apps, you’ll learn to integrate your app with mobile and desktop operating systems at different levels. First, you’ll explore the app installation flow and how to improve it.

Next, you’ll discover how to enhance the experience by understanding the app's lifecycle, how to execute code in the background, and how to manage the updates and new versions of your app. Finally, you’ll learn how to integrate with the operating system, including communication with other apps and the usage of hardware and sensors available.

When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge of APIs, design patterns, and techniques needed to create a Progressive Web App with better integration with the platform where it's installed.
