Vue.js -> PWA -> PRA

By Blake Newman

Vue.js -> PWA -> PRA

'Vue.js -> PWA -> PRA'. We will look at what a PWA is and how to start with Vue. We will also look at extending the PWA platform we will look how Sockets and Service Workers can coexist together, a PRA (Progressive Realtime Application), allowing platforms to improve the user experience without affecting the critical download chain.
