Subject:  NEJUG Meeting ( Thu, Aug 8): HTML5/Java Best Practices for Developing Web Applications
Sent By:  Mark Johnson

When we started moving heavily to the web with technologies such as AJAX and the like as an industry
we adopted technologies such as JavaScript and Taglibs to validate our screens and improve the user experience.
Lots of great applications have been created using these tools.  But at what cost?
While some of my friends have gone deep into modern JavaScript and Taglib approaches,
personally, I always found them to be unstable and generally problematic.

HTML 5 to me looks like a great solution!  Lots of power, but the UI is really just one language
not a couple of XML and JavaScript frameworks bandaged together.
For that reason I am excited about the first NEJUG meeting of the 2013 second half.
So come and join us to learn more about this exciting technology.

 Presentation Overview:

Most books, resources, and presentations tend to focus on a single technology or, at best,
a single layer of web application development. In other words, most resources take a front-end
(UI development) or back-end (server-side development) perspective. This is rightly so,
since the entire spectrum of web application development is as wide and as deep as the
Amazon river. It is, therefore, nearly impossible to maintain a key eye on all of the
important technologies involved in the end-to-end delivery of a web application.
 It just so happens that I focus on just such a breadth-first perspective and would
like to share a bit of what I have learned by taking a broad view of web application development.
