Web, HTML5 et UX
Main Keynote Room	Thursday from 10:15 til 11:15
gRPC is a high performance, language-neutral, general RPC framework developed and open sourced by Google. Built on the HTTP/2 standard, gRPC brings many benefits such as bidirectional streaming, flow control, header compression, multiplexing and more. In this session, you will learn about gRPC and how you can use it in your apps. Ray and Mete will build Java and C# clients to show how versatile gRPC can be.
