Presentations

Building Mobile and Enterprise Apps with HTML 5 and Google Web Toolkit

The browser has become an increasingly important platform for enterprise development, and GWT has long appealed to developers looking to migrate desktop apps to the Web. There are still limitations of Web apps vs. desktop apps, but HTML 5 has addressed many of these.

This session will primarily cover HTML5 features of interest to mobile and enterprise developers, including the FileSystem API and desktop-like file handling, AppCache, local storage, GeoLocation, and determining device form factor. We'll also take a look at Maven integration and new features in the latest Google Plugin for Eclipse.

Building Modern Web Apps with HTML 5 and DART

Modern Web apps are rich, snappy, and work offline and mobile, too. In this talk, we'll look at the frameworks and HTML5 features that make these possible and introduce DART, a new language for structured Web programming.

In particular, we'll take a look at the motivation for DART, language syntax and features, the DART Editor, using the dartc JS compiler, and improvements to the DOM. We'll also discuss DART in relation to JS and GWT.
