Client-Side Data Storage: Keeping It Local

by Raymond Camden

One of the most useful features of today’s modern browsers is the ability to store data right on the user’s computer or mobile device. Even as more people move toward the cloud, client-side storage can still save web developers a lot of time and money, if you do it right. This hands-on guide demonstrates several storage APIs in action. You’ll learn how and when to use them, their plusses and minuses, and steps for implementing one or more of them in your application. Ideal for experienced web developers familiar with JavaScript, this book also introduces several open source libraries that make storage APIs easier to work with.

Quick read, adding PouchDB would’ve made it a lot more useful. A lot of the details are still valid, so a good read anyway and the libs used are also still used and maintained mostly. but very basic overall and out of date code.

On the short side and kind of dated, but still a quick read on client-side storage options.
