Web Directions Summit

The Soul of a New Application

The modern web has reached the point where it can exceed the capabilities of a traditional O/S based application. We'll explore the architecture and approach for building a next generation web app that leverages capabilities that have recently become available such as WASM, WebRTC, File System Access API, Web Share API and more.

Using the example of a collaborative document editor (which has DOM inside a web worker) you'll learn how to use these APIs to build something that's only possible on the web.
