PWAs & Project Fugu: Closing The Relevance Gap
Alex Russell, Partner Program Manager Microsoft Edge
Chromium’s Project Fugu is an open collaboration to push the capabilities of the web platform forward through standards.

This talk digs into the what, but also the why, of this huge expansion of power for web developers.
