Course Summary

Google Web Tookit (GWT) enables Java developers to write high performance rich internet applications (AJAX). You write your front end in the Java programming language and GWT compiles your source into highly optimized JavaScript. Writing web applications is tedious and error-prone process. You spend 90% of your time working around browser quirks, and JavaScript's lack of modularity makes sharing, testing and reusing AJAX components difficult and fragile. But it does not have to be that way.

This session talks about how GWT addresses current web development problems and shows you how by facilitating the Java programming language developers can be abstracted from browser quirks and low level client server communication allowing them to build high performance AJAX applications based upon their existing engineering best practices and promoting test driven development.

An overview of all GWT components - their purpose and working - will be provided along with integration pitfalls with existing systems. At the end of the session you should have a clear idea whether or not GWT is the right technology for your project.
