Web Components in ActionThis session builds on technologies and concepts discussed in a previous session, 'Web Components: a tectonic shift for web development'. This year web development gets a whole lot better thanks to the incredible power of Web Components. Our goal in this session is to show you how to use polyfills to help you realize tomorrow's web platform today. As browsers implement these new specifications, that shim layer gets smaller, better, and faster over time. We'll talk about shadow DOM, custom elements, declarative data/event binding, touch input, smooth animations, and how you can combine them to create awesome apps. Write less boilerplate, target every platform, and be more productive by using the next generation of the web platform.

Demystifying MVP and EventBus in GWTIn 2009, Ray Ryan gave a talk at Google I/O advocating the Model-View-Presenter pattern and the EventBus for architecting GWT applications. Since then, MVP and the EventBus have become widespread in the GWT community and several frameworks have appeared to support them. However, there's still a lot of confusion over what MVP actually is and the best way to implement it. Many common solutions involve tedious amounts of boilerplate and overhead. In this talk, I will demonstrate that using MVP and the EventBus correctly is easier than you probably think it is and can be done without any frameworks or extra overhead. The end result is a more testable, maintainable GWT application that is a pleasure to work with.
