Hi Everyone! Our group has been on a bit of a hiatus meetup-wise, although we have been working on some exciting upcoming events behind the scenes. Keep a lookout for announcements about some exciting developments for GDG Central Virginia in 2016! Progressive Web Apps are here. They provide offline capability, improved performance, and an abundance of APIs to give powerful abilities to applications. In order to use these APIs, your application must be secure. Learn why security is important and how to use Let's Encrypt to secure your application for free. This month we welcome back Jonathan Garbee on Friday April 22, 2016 to lead our group on this topic. Jonathan is a Google Developer Expert for Web Technologies and Chromium Contributor. He works on the official DevTools documentation to assist developers in building their applications rapidly and making sure they hit RAIL metrics. We look forward to seeing you on April 22nd! -Starrie, Jossay, and Doug
