GWT - Strictly limited to Java developers ? No !

dgirard — Sat, 04 Oct 2008 19:35:00 +0200

This is a slide extract from John Resig presentation. Even if I respect a lot John for JQuery, I don't agree with him about what he thinks about GWT : GWT is not about java. It is about using a object oriented language to build ajax applications. And I think that Javascript, PHP and .NET developers will love GWT.

Back to basics : Taking a Look at the Google Web Toolkit

dgirard — Mon, 24 Mar 2008 09:43:00 +0100

RJ Salicco

In this session we will walk through the features of the Google Web Toolkit from a Java developer's perspective. From installation to application development and deployment, we will see how the Google Web Toolkit can help Java developers get work done. Google Web Toolkit takes our Java code and produces HTML and JavaScript to create a fully functioning Web 2.0/AJAX based Web application. We will discuss problems encountered when developing AJAX Web applications for cross browser support and how the Google Web Toolkit has solved our problems. Of course, we will also look at some code and we will see what it takes to create our own Java Web application with the Google Web Toolkit.

Javapolis GWT Session

dgirard — Sat, 15 Dec 2007 12:28:00 +0100

It was really fun for me to be on stage with Dick Wall. He is really a great speaker. The room was full. I think that there was more than 1200 attendees. It shows that GWT is really a hot technology.

My presentation runs with the "Demo Effect" : I got a bug in Powerpoint ;-) that disturbed me a lot :-(.

The MyForm Demo is available here : MyForm. You can test it if you add it in the Orkut Sandbox OpenSocial Container. Just sign for a account : http://sandbox.orkut.com

Infoq :
The Google Web Toolkit (GWT) is a Java-centric framework for creating AJAX applications. GWT cross-compiles Java source into JavaScript, allowing Java developers to use their existing Java skills and tools to create AJAX apps. GWT lead Bruce Johnson intros GWT including high-performance AJAX, internationalization, and integration with existing web app.

Denver Technology :

I was able to catch David Geary's presentation on Google Web Toolkit at DJUG this month. I was impressed.

David Geary
A prominent author, speaker, and consultant. He wrote the best-selling books on both Java component frameworks: Swing and JavaServer Faces (JSF). David's Graphic Java Swing was one of the best-selling Java books of all time and Core JSF, which David wrote with Cay Horstman, is the best-selling book on JavaServer Faces. David is currently writting a new book on GWT : "Google Web Toolkit Solutions".

Free and Online GWT Course

Sang Shin :

Google Web Toolkit (GWT) is definitely an interesting technology to explore for building Ajax applications especially for those who want to leverage their Java knowledge. The current version of NetBeans GWT plug-in does not support "creating a WAR" feature yet. That will be provided in the next version.

Excellent GWT Course !

Benefits for the User :

Quick response to actions : No need for server round-trip and full page refresh
Compatible with recent desktop browsers : IE, Firefox, Mozilla, Safari, Opera
Requires no browser plug-ins or JVM : Quick startup time Browser history management Fixes common problem with many Ajax applications
The Back button works : Bookmarks work

Benefits for the Developer

One language to rule them all : Program everything in Java Share code between client, server
Back to the future : simpler programming model than current web technologies.
You can use other languages on the server if you want but you lose some of the benefits
It’s like writing a Swing or SWT program.
Really simple RPC : Easy to use, but powerful
Integrate with existing technologies : You can use existing technologies on the back end (servlets, jsp, asp, ruby) and on the client side (dojo, prototype, del.icio.us, etc.) if you really want to (avoid if you can)
