What are Progressive Enhancements?

Progressive Enhancements are techniques of building websites with strong foundations that make it accessible to a wide range of browsing situations. Some examples of these situations are mobile devices, netbooks, desktops, and screen-readers. A couple examples of techniques using progressive enhancements are avoiding browser-specific code and using feature-detection. Also testing your web application in "JavaScript off" to determine what can't be done without JavaScript so that you can present alternative options.
