The Web's future is offline

The Web is in most people’s mind synonymous with the internet. And that of course means no internet connection, no Web. However this association is holding back how, and what, we build for the Web.

Whether you’re a developer who build for the Web, or someone who designs Web experiences, you’ll come away with a whole new understanding of what we can build using Web technologies.
