At [Arlington Ruby](http://www.meetup.com/Arlington-Ruby/events/233611761/), I gave a very brief (inadequate) introduction to [Progressive Web Apps](https://developers.google.com/web/progressive-web-apps/) and [Service Worker](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Service_Worker_API) and how you can incorporate these concepts into your Rails app with my gem, [`serviceworker-rails`](https://github.com/rossta/serviceworker-rails).
