About this Presentation

As recent high-profile web apps such as Google's GMail have shown, modern browsers are capable of natively rendering web apps with highly dynamic and compelling UIs - fetching server data without page refreshes, animating and manipulating page contents on-the-fly, even offline use. The line between web and “desktop” apps is blurring.

Experienced web developer Dion Almaer (editor of TheServerSide.com) and noted Java desktop expert Ben Galbraith will describe and demonstrate these new techniques, including how to adapt modern web frameworks such as JSF and Tapestry to ease both the creation and maintenance of these types of applications.
