HTML5, AngularJS, Groovy, Java, MongoDB altogether: What could possibly go wrong

Presented by Trisha Gee. We hear it’s common to create an MVP (Minimum Viable Product) in a language that facilitates rapid prototyping, and then migrate to the JVM when the application requires better stability and performance.

I’m going to use Java to create a web application in under an hour. The JVM is a polyglot platform, and I’ll show how to use the correct tools for this application, including: AngularJS; Bootstrap; HTML 5; Web Services; Java; MongoDB; and Groovy - it’s fully buzz-word-compliant. I won’t go into every technology in depth, I’ll demonstrate the role of each tool and how they interact.

At the end of the talk we’ll have a fully working mobile/browser-friendly app, without compromising on design or good practice. It’s even going to have tests.
