Abstract
The Google Web Toolkit (GWT) is a solution to develop AJAX web applications in
the Java language. It lets you develop web applications entirely in Java, debug
it entirely in Java, and then translates that Java code into browser compatible
JavaScript and HTML that runs in any Web browser. At first look GWT is just a
JavaScript generator. But there is more to the GWT; it includes a basic set of
UI widgets and a framework to make calls back to the server application. GWT has
a moderate learning curve, because its widget API is very similar in use as the
well known Java AWT and Swing APIs.
This presentation starts with a basic introduction to GWT. The idea and concepts
behind the toolkit are explained to given you an overall understanding. Next the
arguments for and against GWT are examined, not only from the developer but also
form the management and service point of view. This information helps you to
decide whether or not GWT is the right choice for your next project. Finally a
hands-on demonstration, featuring GWT and some innovative 3rd party libraries,
shows the real power of GWT.
