How do the 'old' technologies of HTML, JavaScript, and CSS relate to Java

developers and can Java developers really be productive in this new/old world? In this session, you'll learn everything you need to know and see demos

illustrating the relevance of HTML5 in the Java world, using simple and intuitive tools that have been especially created for this purpose!

● Interact easily and intuitive between different languages and files ● Interact with the browser

– click in browser and see where and how DOM nodes are defined

(12)

HTML5 Rich Client Development

● Accelerated HTML5 Development

 _{Live Web Preview and Responsive Web Design}  _{Rewritten JavaScript Editor on Nashorn}

 _{JavaScript Debugger}

 _{CSS3 Editor, Style Editor, and Rule Editor}  _{Backbone.js Client Generation from}

(13)

Accelerated HTML5 Development

● Create applications from popular templates

(14)

Live Preview & Responsive Design

● Deep integration with WebKit API

 _{Select in browser, see related code in IDE,}

and reverse… without needing to save

 _{Multiple form factors, e.g., desktop or mobile,}

(15)

JavaScript Debugger

● HTML5 applications are automatically

in debug mode

 _{Set breakpoints in JavaScript file,}

on Line, DOM, Event, or XMLHTTPRequest

 _{Refresh the browser and}

immediately you can step through code

 _{Use Debugger windows to monitor}

 _{JavaScript refactoring}

 _{Many customization settings}

(18)

How does this relate to me as a Java developer?

● Now you have choice – either use Java EE or other Java-oriented frontends

or HTML

● But how to integrate HTML frontends with Java backends?

(19)

Best of both worlds

● Java EE Platform

● JPA: standardized mechanism for accessing data

● EJB: standardized mechanism for coding business logic ● JAX-RS: standardized mechanism for exposing data ● HTML5 Platform

(20)

What tools are out there to help Java developers

with HTML5?

● Create or open an HTML5 application

 _{Create a Backbone.js frontend}

from RESTful web services

 _{JavaScript file}

with HTML file is generated and can immediately

be opened in the browser

 _{In summary: You can expose}

a database in

an HTML5 application within 5 minutes

Conclusion

● HTML5 is out there and growing in popularity

● Figuring out how to be productive is a key concern to success ● Tools exist, make sure to choose tools with the right integration
