Google Web Toolkit Applications

Description

“Ryan clearly understands the GWT value proposition and how GWT integrates into a diverse web technology stack—and not just in a theoretical way. With the popularity of gpokr.com and kdice.com, Ryan can speak with the authority of concrete success.” —Bruce Johnson, creator of Google Web Toolkit “This book distinguishes itself from other books on GWT in that it walks through the entire process of building several nontrivial GWT applications, not the toy applications that most books present.” —R. Mark Volkmann, Object Computing, Inc. “GoogleTM Web Toolkit Applications is an excellent resource for any GWT developer. Solutions to challenges commonly encountered in GWT are presented through the design and development of actual applications. The applications developed throughout the text demonstrate best practices from simple UI design all the way to custom code generation, and are presented with little pretext about the amount of Java knowledge a given developer may have. Advanced concepts are not withheld but are presented in a way that will be understood by both novice and seasoned developers alike. Good application development practices and proper Model View Controller design is reinforced throughout the book, nearly guaranteeing that the reader will come away a better programmer. “ —Jason Essington, Senior Web/Java Engineer, Green River Computing “Dewsbury’s GoogleTM Web Toolkit Applications is a book for both experts and beginner programmers who want to discover this open source Java software development framework, as well as write Ajax applications.
