With modern browser capabilities maturing rapidly, Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) have become a powerful, yet often overlooked option for delivering mobile-like experiences without the complexity of traditional app store deployment. While many enterprise teams continue to default to native or hybrid solutions, PWAs offer a compelling alternative that leverages existing web development skills while enabling installable, offline-capable applications. In this session, we’ll explore when PWAs make sense, where they excel, and why they remain underutilized in enterprise development. You’ll learn how service workers enable background processing and offline functionality, and we’ll walk through building a practical PWA using Angular, TypeScript, and Ionic. Attendees will leave with both a working understanding of Angular PWAs and a decision framework for evaluating PWAs as a modern application strategy.
