Twin Cities Code Camp

HTML5 has brought us many new ways to deliver rich content to the web. The File System API is one way we can enable offline applications that deal with actual files in a sand boxed environment for a site. It allows us to store binary files such as documents, images, and even JSON. The files can then be referenced with file system URIs to deliver them to the user, build the site itself, or even serve data using XHR. Learn the basics of the API, dealing with browser compatibility or lack there of, common use cases, and see tools to help you build your app in this code-centric presentation. Here is the tests and app I will be reviewing to cover the API: StephenErstad/FileSystemApiDemo. It can be run as a Node or .NET web app.
