18:55 - Mobile Development with Ionic, React Native and JHipster

. Mobile development offers a lot of options. To develop native apps, you can use Java or Kotlin on Android. On iOS, you can use Objective C or Swift. There are other options, too. You can build hybrid mobile apps and Progressive Web Apps (PWAs). Hybrid mobile apps are those created with web technologies (HTML, JavaScript, and CSS) that look like native apps. PWAs have the ability to work offline and act like mobile apps.

In this talk, we'll explore a few different mobile technologies: Ionic 4 (with Angular), React Native, and PWAs. You'll walk away with knowledge of how to build mobile + Spring Boot apps in minutes with JHipster.

20:15 - Front End Development for Back End Java Developers

Are you a backend Java developer that's being pushed into front-end development? Are you frustrated with all the JavaScript frameworks and build tools you have to learn to be a good UI developer? If so, this session is for you! We'll explore the landscape of UI development, including web standards, frameworks, and what’s on the horizon (e.g., micro frontends).
