SPA – Allard Schuurmans

Picture a company that has a nice web application, but also has plans to create a Native Application for mobile devices. Unfortunately creating a complete Native app, will cost a lot of time and money to develop. If this is your situation, maybe transforming your web application into a Progressive Web App can help you.

The term “Progressive Web App” isn’t a formal or official name. It’s just a shorthand used initially by Google for the concept of creating a flexible, adaptable app using only web technologies.

The goal of Progressive Web Apps is to make the end-user feel as if they are working in a Native App, as we know it from mobile devices (Android and Ios).

Another big advantage of a Progressive Web App is the fact that any existing web application can easily become a Progressive Web App.

In 2010 Google introduced AngularJs. Originally it is developed in 2009 by Miško Hevery en Adam Abrons. AngularJs is a Model View Controller (MVC) javascript framework. It has been / or still is used by many companies for creating SPA (Single Page Applications). Few years later AngularJs became part of the MEAN Stack. MEAN stands for MongoDB, Express.js, AngularJS, and Node.js. MEAN is an end-to-end JavaScript stack used for cloud-ready applications.

AngularJs became very popular because of a set of features that really helped programmers constructing stable, scalable and robust web-applications. AngularJs reached the top segment of the market and was compared to ReactJs and EmberJs also a good choice to build your product with.

But all good things, come to an end.
