Progressive web apps are just websites, with a manifest file (JSON based text file that contains additional settings, like links to the "apps" homepage icon). Any website can be made into a PWA regardless of the technology used to create it. PWA can make use of Javascript-based service workers tha

Despite my earlier comments - it is still something that I would be interested in. While my preferences has always been to mix html / code together - if there is a better way to do things, then I would definitely be interested in finding out / learning more. Carpe diem *Simon Smith* m. +27

It's impracticable for most hosting companies to keep a clients WordPress installation up to date. All the plugins and themes need to be kept up to date at the same time and sometimes need to be manually uploaded. There is then a problem that if a host updates something and something breaks - who w

PHP is definitely the most popular language for letting you code this way, but then it is pretty much only for the web unlike most other languages. Other languages can work this way too - e.g. Python has PSP, Java has JSP as does Ruby, Lua etc. but not as popular as PHP. Carpe diem *Simon S

Personally I do prefer to mix HTML / code together. I don't think it right to say it is a PHP way to do things though :) - PHP does not encourage one to go this route for what I think is usually called spaghetti code. While some platforms, like WordPress have done quiet a bit to encourage this s

Hi I have played with this a bit, and got pretty far for a proof of concept for an ecommerce project I was working on. I stopped working on it when I left the company I was working for. I did not use rev igniter since I wanted it to function as it's own framework and I think it just makes the cod

I would look at push notifications. onesignal.com looks quiet good, just not had a chance to play with it yet. I have found that SMS messages are too unreliable when it comes to emergency notifications, sometimes they come through, sometimes they don't and sometimes they come through an hour or so

I would stay with h.264 if possible - its popular and supported by most platforms. Having to trouble shoot video issues on an ongoing basis is not really fun. But yes - there is a licencing requirement if its being used commercially - no idea how actively it is policed. Are the video's going to be

Hi Couple of ways you could look at doing it. Depending on the formatting of the page, you could use an iframe and just get the page that is getting loaded each time to refresh with something like - this would just reload the section of the page and not the entire page. You could also use a jqu

What I like about this is that it lowers the technical knowledge for setting up a server and is a great starting point as you just need to figure out an SSH client. I have never really taken to Macs - although I do need to consider getting one in the near future. I have never liked Microsoft base

I think it is worth saying that if you are wanting to host your own server online - it is well worth the pain of learning how to setup everything yourself. A control panel or a setup script would be great (my personal preference would be a setup script) - you do still need some experience to run a
