Ajax just got a lot easier.
GWT—The Google Web Toolkit—is a set of APIs and tools that lets developers build rich web applications almost entirely in Java. Creating web applications with GWT feels a lot like coding in Swing or SWT. GWT hides the complexity of Ajax but still gives you control over the details. You wind up with better web apps faster—all without learning a new programming model.
GWT in Action is a comprehensive tutorial for Java developers exploring GWT. It's clearly-written and packed with hands-on GWT examples. Authors Robert Hanson and Adam Tacy will be your guides as you
• Absorb the GWT philosophy as you build your first working GWT app.
• Follow a clever dashboard example running throughout the book.
• Quickly master the basics of GWT: widgets, panels, and event handling. With those concepts in hand you'll really put GWT through its paces.
The book explores the toolkit's RPC tools and JSON/XML support, the Java to JavaScript interface (JSNI), and automatic code generation. As well, you'll
• Learn useful RPC related patterns including various polling techniques.
• Handle real-world concerns like internationalization, testing, and support.
• Leverage Java best-practices for GWTdevelopment.
