Introduction to Google's Closure Tools
Closure Tools represents the open-sourcing of many of the tools used to build many of Google's rich web applications such as Gmail, Docs, Maps and Google +. It's sweet spot is the development of large-scale, feature-rich applications that are deployed within a single page. It attempts to be a comprehensive toolset, providing a robust set of libraries, a strong dependency management system, and a sophisticated compiler. All of these features provide a productive development environment that also results in highly-performant JavaScript code.
This session will provide an overview of the Closure Tools ecosystem, including:
- The JavaScript optimizing Closure Compiler
- The Closure Library
- Closure Templates, an easy templating system for both Java and JavaScript
- The Closure Linter
- Closure Stylesheets
We'll illustrate the use of each of these tools and use them to develop a simple one-page web application.
