Presentations

GWT, Ajax for a grown up web

The Google Web Toolkit is a development toolkit for building and optimizing rich web based applications. It enables developers to be productive and build high performance applications without having to be a JavaScript ninja.

With GWT, front-end AJAX is written in Java using familiar tools like Eclipse and then cross compiles into optimized JavaScript. Learn more about GWT's features, advantages/disadvantages, and whats new and coming. Oh, did I mention there would be demos?

GWT, Hands on with the SDK

The GWT SDK contains the Java API libraries, compiler and development server. The SDK compiles optimized JavaScript that automatically works across all major browsers.

In this workshop we will dive into the GWT SDK and demonstrate how to install and get setup, explain the development process and construct a basic AJAX application using many of the core features of GWT. We will also dive into how to architect an enterprise GWT application using the MVP pattern and event bus.
