Abstract

GWT (formerly Google Web Toolkit) is the open source compiler used by thousands of enterprises to build rich Web UIs in Java that run in a standard browser with no plugins. GWT practitioners worldwide are watching with interest the new J2CL (Java to Closure) compiler announced by Google last year.

Let's get together to discuss current GWT best practices, benefits and limitations of the forthcoming J2CL, and migration strategies. The session will be led by David Chandler, formerly the GWT Developer Advocate for Google and currently Developer Advocate for Sencha GXT.
