ROB DODSON: Hey, everybody.
What's up?
It's Rob.
Welcome back to day two
of the Chrome Dev Summit.
I'm here on the floor.
We're actually in the
main venue getting
ready to start the
second half of day two.
I'm joined by Patrick Kettner.
Patrick is a program manager
on the Microsoft Edge team.
So Patrick, you're going
to be speaking today
about Progressive Web Apps.
And I wanted to know,
first of all, just
like what inspired you to come
do a session on PWAs here?
PATRICK KETTNER: Totally.
So everybody at Microsoft
is really, really excited
about Progressive Web Apps.
We think it's the
future of the web.
And one thing when talking
to a lot of our partners
that build websites, they
were sort of like, yeah,
but we might wait
until you guys support
it or something like that.
And we're like, no, no, don't.
Just ship it today with
proper feature detection.
And then it's
automatically done.
Like, you can-- we
don't want people
to wait to ship features.
We want them to start shipping
them earlier, to get feedback
before-- sooner and just
to build stuff faster.
And we want to be
a big part of that.
We want to encourage
people to do that and not
wait for other browsers
to implement stuff.
Just get it done today.
ROB DODSON: Right on.
And so I'm sure this is what
many of the folks out there
are wondering, is,
like, when is Edge going
to have some of these features?
PATRICK KETTNER: Absolutely.
We have a team actively working
on all of these features.
We're hoping to get out
there early next year.
It's definitely dependent
on timing and budgets
and everything else.
But it's definitely, definitely
a top priority for our team
and something you can check
out the status of on the Edge
status website
online, where we keep
track of all the different
features we're adding,
All our ES7 progress and
everything else like that.
So it's-- yeah,
it's coming soon.
I'm looking forward to it.
ROB DODSON: All right,
it like the house
lights are going down.
So we're going to wrap it up.
Patrick, thank you so
much for being with us.
Thank you so much for watching.
Stay tuned for more of day two.
See ya.
