If you are an ActionScript developer (Adobe Flash), this is your language. I’m not very familiar with the “ Syntactic sugar” and I’m more productive with traditional languages (yes, I love curly backets! ). I use it a lot, and I feel very productive using an advanced IDE like Eclipse with tools like code assist, refactor, etc.Ī very compact language, inspired by Ruby and Python and that has become extremely popular in the last years. GWT compiles Java into JS and it’s strongly optimized. GWT stand for Google Web Toolkit, but now it’s in hands of the community and extensively used in many corporations. Here are the most interesting options: GWT The future is here, and JavaScript (JS) is everywhere, but JS development is so hard that many people prefer to develop in other languages and then compile their code to JS, using JS as a universal runtime.

The main problem that I found was the size, embedding CEF will add 45Mb size to your installed application. I created a Windows app using Visual Studio Express, it was not very difficult, because CEF includes a “cefclient” sample project that you can use as a template to start your project development. Using CEF requires a small knowledge about Windows/Mac desktop app development. You can also create a Windows/Mac installer to distribute the app (I used InnoSetup, but this is another story…). So you can convert any HTML5 to a traditional desktop app (and I bet some users to try guessing if Mobialia Chess 3D is an HTML5 app).
Microsoft provides some tools to package HTML apps to native apps, but they will run with the Internet Explorer engine, lacking features like WebGL, WebRTC, etc.Ĭhromium Embedded Framework (CEF) is a library that allows to embed a Chromium webview in your native Windows or Mac desktop application. Recently I found this problem trying to package Mobialia Chess 3D for Windows 8. HTML5 is a fantastic app framework, but there are many environments where you cannot rely on the features support of the browser (specially when dealing against Internet Explorer, old windows versions or environments where you cannot freely upgrade the browsers).
