How about You? Have you developed a Struts 1 application? Used PHP? Have you every written CSS from scratch? Why do you hate JavaScript? What’s your favorite JavaScript framework? What do you want to learn from this talk? #DV13 @mraible
Topic Inspiration Inspired by Ben Evan’s and Martijn Verburg’s The Well-Grounded Java Developer Developing with Java 7 Vital techniques Polyglot programming on the JVM Crafting the polyglot project #DV13 @mraible

Scala Venkat Subramaniam “Scala is like the dragon in Avatar. It will try to kill you, but if you master it, you can fly great distances with it and have a wonderful time.” #DV13 @mraible
Scala Basics def starts a method variables are started with var or val variables are defined with name:type semicolons are not required
Scala vs. Java public class Car { ! private final int year; ! private int miles; ! ! public int getYear() { return year; } ! public int getMiles() { return miles; } ! public void setMiles(int theMiles) { miles = theMiles; } ! ! public Car(int theYear, int theMiles) { ! year = theYear; ! miles = theMiles; ! } ! } #dv13javaweb$ #DV13 @mraible
Scala vs. Java class Car(val year: Int, var miles: Int) #dv13javaweb$ #DV13 @mraible
What about Groovy? #dv13javaweb$ #DV13 @mraible
Groovy is still hot... #dv13javaweb$ #DV13 @mraible

Modern Principles
HTTP Overview Request / Response Protocol Features: Keep-Alive HTTP Secure Binary Compression #DV13 @mraible
HTTP Methods 1.0 defined GET, POST and HEAD 1.1 defined added OPTIONS, PUT, DELETE, TRACE and CONNECT Safe methods: HEAD, GET, OPTIONS and TRACE Idempotent: PUT and DELETE Insecure: TRACE, TRACK and DEBUG #DV13 @mraible
SPDY and HTTP 2.0 Allows client and server to compress request and response headers Allows multiple, simultaneously multiplexed requests over a single connection Allows the server to actively push resources to the client that it knows the client will need The initial draft of HTTP 2.0 is based on a straight copy of SPDY #DV13 @mraible

HTML5 Killer Features Editable Text
HTML5 Killer Features #DV13 @mraible
HTML5 Storage Web Storage APIs: localStorage / sessionStorage Web SQL Database IndexedDB Application Cache File* APIs #DV13 @mraible
window.localStorage Simple key / value store Persistent through page reloads Great for storing user preferences Avoids HTTP overhead of cookies <script> localStorage.setItem('key', value); localStorage.getItem('key'); </script> #DV13 @mraible
window.sessionStorage Same as localStorage Lasts for browser session New window / tab starts new session Great for sensitive data (e.g. banking) Excellent use case: auto-save <textarea> #DV13 @mraible
Other Storage APIs Web SQL Database IndexedDB Not supported by IE9, iOS or Safari Application Cache File APIs #DV13 @mraible

High Performance Web Sites 1. Make Fewer HTTP Requests 2. Use a Content Delivery Network 3. Add Expires Headers 4. Gzip Components 5. Put Stylesheets at the Top 6. Put Scripts at the Bottom 7. Avoid CSS Expressions #DV13 @mraible
High Performance Web Sites 8. Make JavaScript and CSS External 9. Reduce DNS Lookups 10. Minify JavaScript 11. Avoid Redirects 12. Remove Duplicates Scripts 13. Configure ETags 14. Make Ajax Cacheable #DV13 @mraible
My Page Speed Experience Biggest Problem is HTTP Requests Minify and Concatenate GZipping has biggest score gain Expires Headers for Browser Caching Use Apache or Nginx Image Sprites for CSS http://spritecow.com is great #DV13 @mraible

WebJars and UrlRewrite Filter WebJars: client-side web libraries packages in JARs http://webjars.org Servlet 3, Play 2, Grails, Dropwizard, Spring MVC, Tapestry and Wicket UrlRewriteFilter: like Apache’s mod_rewrite http://tuckey.org/urlrewrite Clean URLs and just about everything else Spring MVC’s <default-servlet-handler/> is your friend #DV13 @mraible

Mobile Devices If developing a mobile app with web technologies Use PhoneGap or Sencha Touch Otherwise, add a viewport meta tag <meta name=viewport content=width=devicewidth, initial-scale=1.0> #DV13 @mraible
Mobile Devices - CSS3 Media Queries /* Smartphones (portrait and landscape) ----------*/ ! @media only screen and (min-device-width: 320px) and (max-device-width: 854px) { ! /* Smartphone rules */! } ! ! /* iPad (portrait and landscape) ----------- */ ! @media only screen and (min-device-width: 768px) and (max-device-width: 1024px) { ! /* Tablet rules */! } #DV13 @mraible
Mobile Devices - Hide Address Bar <script type=text/javascript> ! // Hide address bar for smartphones ! /Mobile/.test(navigator.userAgent) && !location.hash ! && setTimeout(function () { ! if (!pageYOffset) window.scrollTo(0, 1); ! }, 1000); ! </script>! #DV13 @mraible
