PRESENTATION:
=============

Your next webapp may have to be a slick RIA site.  You could use Flex and require the flash runtime.  You could use Silverlight and require the sliverlight runtime.  You could use JavaScript – but if you’re a Java shop, are you also an expert in JavaScript, and do you understand well all the browser quirks between IE 6, 7, 8, 9, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari, etc.?  You could use a JavaScript library like JQuery – or you could re-use all your Java knowledge and write your UI in a Swing-like Java API and have Google cross-compile it down to JavaScript that works in all browsers for you.  You get the advantage of staying in one language, and all the tools it provides: IDE re-factoring, debugging, testing, etc.  You can also share common code between the client and server — assuming you build your backend in Java.
GWT is a powerful tool, but there is a learning curve.  This session aims to shorten that learning curve – and provide you with some up-to-date examples of best practices and patterns that have emerged from the community of GWT developers.

Presenter BIO:
