Modern Frontends with Thymeleaf and HTMX

Explore a streamlined approach to frontend development in this 49-minute conference talk from Devoxx. Learn how to build highly interactive web experiences using Java 17, Spring Boot, Thymeleaf, and the htmx JavaScript library without writing complex JavaScript code. Discover how adding a few attributes to your HTML can implement patterns like Click To Edit, Endless Scrolling, and Lazy Loading. Gain insights into enhancing web applications with htmx where it makes sense, while leveraging the simplicity and productivity of server-side rendering for the rest of your application. Understand why this approach, already popular in PHP/Laravel and Python/Django communities, is gaining traction in the Java/Spring Boot world. Presented by Wim Deblauwe, a seasoned Java developer and author of Taming Thymeleaf, this talk challenges the notion that JavaScript frameworks are always necessary for modern web development.
