Unfortunately, I'm in the same boat, having only fiddled briefly with some of the newer web APIs, rather than architecting an app around service workers. My impression comes from folks like Joreteg who do the work, and from the increasing frequency with which new native-like APIs are released into browsers (though almost invariably implemented badly). That said, even though the way service workers are registered is sort of odd, they're pretty trivial to work with once you're there. As far as resources go, MDN is always pretty solid, and this post (https://developers.google.com/web/fundamentals/primers/service-workers/ https://developers.google.com/web/fundamentals/primers/servi...) on Google's web dev guides is what I used to familiarize myself with them.
