This is a talk I gave about Offline First development at jsDay Verona on May 14th, 2015 and TopConf Tallinn on November 18th, 2015 . It covers why and when we should prepare our web apps for the offline state, which browser capabilities help us to accomplish the job and how we can detect the offline state for a better UI.
