2. About me (real quick) Trifon Statkov 3+ years of working (happily) at Web Developer 12+ years JS Developer 5+ years Here to explain to you in one time what Servoy is Learn more about me in LinkedIn (if you feel like it)
3. So, what is Servoy? - Yet another development tool - Can create web apps - Can create desktop apps - No mobile app support … yet :)
4. How does Servoy work? - You write JavaScript - It uses Rhino to generate a Java .war file from your beautiful code that ideally reads like a poem ;) - It uses Tomcat internally to bring the server up
5. Pros - Is open source - Allows for more intuitive approach to building UI - Can accelerate the development of some more straightforward projects - It’s still JavaScript although it gets deployed as Java - Might not be popular, but is still alive and kicking after 15+ years and has its customers so that probably tells you something
6. Cons / Downsides - Not suitable for projects that require more dynamic/conditional rendering of components - Can be restrictive and downright problematic - Don’t expect big StackOverflow community or huge userbase - UI components use the Angular 1.x markup - UI results will not be flashy or wow, but will work
7. Let’s get our hands DIRTY… … real quick … this sounds wrong
