GWT.create 2013 - Mobile Java with GWT, Still 'Write Once Run Everywhere' by Murat Yener

Once JavaME had ruled the mobile world. Times have changed and JavaME is not really preferred on any modern device today. Android rise pretty fast thanks to large developer community of Java.

However in real world Android is not alone! Many mobile devices running iOS and Blackberry are also exist in mobile universe.

HTML5+phonegap apps promised a magic silverbullet for write once run on all devices approach via several frameworks which in the end offered painful javascript and css development. While GWT offers a great Java to JS compiler and debugger, MGWT introduces native looking widgets both on ios, android and even blackberry. Also with the addition of gwt-phonegap projects, now you can code native looking html apps which can use native apis only with regular Java without coding a single line of html+JS.

This talk had been highly rated at Android Dev Days Istanbul and Ankara and selected for JavaOne 2013.
