HTML5

Tonight (Feburary 21, 2013) I will be presenting at the Utah JUG about Client/Server Apps with Play Framework, HTML5 and Java. Here is the session description:

The web application landscape is rapidly shifting back to a Client/Server architecture. This time around, the Client is JavaScript, HTML, and CSS in the browser. The tools and deployment techniques for these types of applications are abundant and fragmented.

This session will teach you how to pull together jQuery, LESS, Twitter, Bootstrap, and some CoffeeScript to build the Client. The Server could be anything that talks HTTP, but this session will use the Play Framework.

Today I’ll be presenting at CodeMash 2013 about Client/Server Apps with HTML5, Play, CoffeeScript, and More. Here is the session description:

The Server could be anything that talks HTTP but this session will use the Play Framework. You will also learn how to deploy Client/Server web apps on the cloud using a Content Delivery Network (Amazon CloudFront) for the Client and a Cloud Application Provider (Heroku) for the Server.

Tomorrow (December 12, 2012) I will be presenting in Dallas at the JavaMUG about Client/Server Apps with Play Framework, HTML5 and Java. Here is the session abstract:

The recording of my JavaOne 2012 presentation, “Client/Server Apps with HTML5 and Java”, has been posted! In this presentation I walk through the modern web application architecture and how to build Client/Server style web apps with HTML5 and Java. Check it out and let me know what you think!

This Friday at OSCON 2012 I’ll be doing a presentation about Client/Server Apps with HTML5 and Java. Here is the session description:

This week I’ll be doing two presentation about Heroku:

• Tuesday May 1 - 5:30 PM at the Denver Open Source Users Group:
  Heroku Cloud Computing Platform

Thursday May 3 - 12:25pm at Future Insights Live (Las Vegas):
Client/Server Apps with HTML5 and Java

Hope to see you there!

Over the next few weeks I’ll be doing a few presentations about Java, Scala, Play Framework 2, HTML5, and Heroku:

• Wednesday April 11 @ 11:30am - Emerging Technologies for the Enterprise (Philedephia, PA) - HTML5 Apps in Java & Scala with the Play Framework

• Wednesday April 18 @ 13:30 - Devoxx (Paris, France) - Developing, Deploying and Scaling in the Cloud with Play

• Thursday April 19 @ 14:30 - Devoxx (Paris, France) - Client/Server Apps with HTML5 and Java

Beyond the media hype about Flash versus HTML5 exists the reality of coexistence and cooperation. This coexistence and cooperation makes the web a better place. When developers combine the strengths of Flash with the strengths of HTML, users get the best possible experiences on the web.

Both HTML and Flash are important foundations that Adobe builds its products on. Here’s a little secret about Adobe’s business model… When new versions of those platforms come out, so do new versions of the tools for building on them. And guess what Adobe makes money on… Tools. So it is true that Adobe loves Flash AND HTML5. :)

I’ll be speaking at two great events next week on the East Coast. First up is HTML5 Live in New York on Tuesday November 9th. At HTML5 Live I’ll be talking about “Development Tools for Building HTML5 Content & Applications”. Then on Friday November 12th I’ll be at RIA Unleashed in Boston talking about “Flex 4.5 Hero”. These two events will certainly be enlightening. :) I hope to see you there!
