Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve probably heard the 100 reasons why native apps are so much better than Web apps, and the 2000 why the contrary is true as well.

This talk will explore the space beyond this now usual opposition, and see how much connected apps (whether native, Web, or hybrid) have learned and can learn from each other, and will focus on what Web technologies are cooking to match their native counterparts abilities.

Spoiler: at the end, they live happily together.
