Web Browser Programming in Java - Using GWT and JsInterop

So in the year of 2019 web development is entirely occupied by JavaScript or derivatives like TypeScript? Well, not entirely… One small village of indomitable Open Source Java developers still holds out against the invaders with the help of Java to JavaScript transpiler GWT (http://www.gwtproject.org) and J2CL (https://github.com/google/j2cl)

WikIT42 - Structure for IT Division and IT Products

After introducing Confluence three times in three different companies I made a template which consists the best practices of how you could structure your IT Division and IT Products within your organisation.

A German version can be found here: http://bit.ly/wikit42de

For discussion I open a Gitter chat at: https://gitter.im/wikit42
