GWT and App Engine using the Devoxx REST Interface
Abstract
A couple of years ago, Internet usage on mobile clients was a marginal activity reserved to those patient enough to deal with big latencies and quirky user interfaces. Now those days are gone, and pretty soon the smartphones will outnumber the desktops, laptops and netbooks connected to the Internet.
But writing a good web application is no small feat though, as mobile devices are bandwidth-constrained and are not guaranteed to be permanently online, so a good mobile web applications should take care of these constraints by both being capable of working offline and reducing bandwidth usage and server round-trips.
This talk will show you why the Google Web Toolkit and App Engine are the ideal Java frameworks to deliver a first-class mobile web application: optimized, ready to scale and offline-enabled. The example used to illustrate all of these concepts (and more !) will be one of the HTML5 clients of the Devoxx Schedule REST interface.
