Java and the Web

This document discusses paths forward for developers using Java and XPages with Domino after HCL's acquisition. It outlines that XPages introduced Java development to Domino but faced limitations. Going forward, options include returning to LotusScript, using Node.js, continuing with XPages, focusing on REST APIs, integrating additional Java technologies into Domino, or moving to a standalone Java server. The document provides pros and cons of REST APIs and integrating additional Java technologies into Domino. It also discusses tools that can help with running applications on a standalone Java server while still accessing Domino data.

This document provides an overview of a lunch and learn session about Node.js. It will discuss why Node.js may not be suitable for some tasks, describe key Node.js concepts like the event loop and asynchronous programming, and show examples of how Node.js has already been used within MDL frameworks like Seneca and groki-server. The session aims to explain Node.js keywords and what they mean, as well as what to expect, including an overview of the event loop and how to take advantage of multiple cores.

WebAssembly is a new Web Standard for portable code that runs in the browser. Blazor is a Microsoft Project where you can write C# and ASP.NET Core Razor code – making use of WebAssembly.

Hybrid applications combine web development skills with native containers to create cross-platform mobile apps. While frameworks like Ionic and Famo.us allow developing hybrids quickly, performance issues remain on Android. React Native offers better performance by using native UI components instead of a webview, allowing developers to write once with React and deploy natively to iOS and Android. It has potential to replace other "native wrapper" frameworks by bringing React's declarative paradigm directly to mobile.

This document discusses the misunderstanding of the complexity of front-end development. It notes that while visual design and CSS/HTML may look easy, front-end development requires skills like communication, analyzing layouts, identifying components, abstracting behaviors, shaping appearance, and integrating different aspects. The development process takes around 9 months and involves tasks at different stages from design to deployment. It also discusses the reasons one may or may not want to pursue front-end development as a career.
