Google Web Toolkit
Author: Bram Smeets
"As modern web application developers, most of us have witnessed the recent Web 2.0 hype. Building more interactive applications while leveraging the power of the Web has proven to be nontrivial. Developing these rich Internet applications (RIAs) requires us to learn JavaScript and cope with browser differences. Luckilyfor us, Google has provided a framework that eases our livesGoogle Web Toolkit (GWT)." "The aim of this book is to introduce GWT and explain why we think it's the best solution for Java' developers who need to build RIAs. In this book, you'll learn to build rich, user-friendly web applications using this popular Javabased Ajax web framework." "This book starts by providing an introduction to RIAs and how GWT fits in with some of the other available solutions. All the key aspects of GWT are tackled pragmatically, as you're using them to build a real-world sample application. Because this book is targeted at Java developers who have no prior knowledge of GWT, we focus on the things we feel are most important to know in order to start effectively using GWT-the stuff that really matters when developing GWT applications." We wrote this book to spread the news that it's possible to build better applications without having to abandon our favorite language, Java. And although GWT is very well documented, we feel that this book provides the introduction that will help Java developers get up to speed quickiy with this amazing technology.
