Virtual Event:

Details
Karsten Silz ( @karsilz ) will be presenting "How Should Java Developers Build Front-Ends for Web, Mobile, and Desktop Today?"

Abstract
Users access applications on PCs and mobile devices today. There are two obvious ways to build front-ends for these devices: Web applications and native applications. Cross-platform UI toolkits combine advantages from both approaches. Examples are Facebook's React Native, Google's Flutter, Microsoft's Xamarin, and JavaFX. I will look at these toolkits from the perspective of a Java developer. My talk will suggest which toolkits to use, what their sweet spots are, and when you should avoid them.

In 2019, I developed a mobile app prototype with Flutter and a progressive web application. I then decided to use Flutter for native mobile apps in my current project. I'll demo these apps and select development tools in the talk. Finally, I will highlight typical issues with Flutter and how to solve them.
