Announcing Going Offline from A Book Apart

I decided that I wanted a new mug.

I already have one very nice mug. It was sent to me by A Book Apart because I wrote the book HTML5 For Web Designers back in 2010. If I wanted another nice mug, it was clear what I had to do. I had to write another book.

So I���ve written a book. It���s called Going Offline and it���s available to pre-order now. It will start shipping a few weeks from now.

I think you will enjoy this book. Here���s why���

You have a website or you make websites for other people. You���re comfortable with HTML and CSS, but maybe you���re a bit apprehensive about JavaScript (like me). You keep hearing lots of talk about service workers and progressive web apps. You���re intrigued. But you���re put off by the resources out there. They all assume a certain level of JavaScript knowledge. What you need is a step-by-step guide to help you make your website work offline ���a guide that won���t assume you���re already comfortable with code.

Does that sound like you? Then Going Offline is for you.

Thinking about it, a more accurate title for the book would���ve been Service Workers For Web Designers ���although even that would assume too much existing knowledge (like, what the heck a service worker is in the first place).

Pre-order Going Offline today and it will be in your hands in just a few weeks.

Alas, I have no idea when my new mug will be ready.
