Dean Hume - MVC and the HTML5 Application Cache

HTML5 has loads of awesome features and recently I have been playing around with a feature called the Application Cache. The Application Cache is designed to allow you to run your web application offline - that is, without a network connection. A web browser that implements HTML5 offline applications will read the list of URLs from the manifest file, download the resources, cache them locally, and automatically keep the local copies up to date as they change. When you don't have a network connection, the browser will automatically switch over to the local copies instead. Most modern browsers offer support for the Application Cache this includes FIREFOX (3.5+), SAFARI (4.0+), CHROME (5.0+), OPERA (10.6+), IPHONE and ANDROID. Unfortunately, Internet Explorer doesn't currently offer support for Application Cache.
