What is Google Web Toolkit (GWT)?

Google Web Toolkit (GWT /'gw?t/) is an open source set of tools that allows web developers to create and maintain complex JavaScript front-end applications in Java. Other than a few native libraries, everything is Java source that can be built on any supported platform with the included GWT Ant build files. It is licensed under the Apache License version 2.0

Title : What is Model View Presenter (MVP) in GWT Application?
Author : ManningPublications
Date : Mon Nov 28th, 2011

One of the main selling points of GWT is that it allows you to use an industry-grade language, with an industry-grade set of tools, to build...well...industry-grade web apps. But, as with any large scale development project, you can easily paint yourself into a corner. Far too many times when building GWT-based apps, we find ourselves slinging code wherever necessary to make the app work, and (sometimes more importantly) look good. Fortunately, there is a well known solution to this problem: build your applications based on the model-view-presenter (MVP) paradigm.

Title : Code Splitting in GWT
Author : ManningPublications
Date : Mon Nov 28th, 2011

Another common engineering issue was how to decrease the load time of the application. It is common for a feature full GWT application to approach a megabyte in size. With broadband, this is generally a fast download, but at the same time users have higher expectations that they did with their 56K modem. Users now judge the speed of your application in hundreds of milliseconds and not seconds. If your application takes a full second to start up, it may be considered as being sluggish. So how can you decrease the start time?.This is where code splitting comes in. If you can cut your code into multiple segments, you can kill two birds with one stone. A smaller initial download means faster startup, and loading less-often accessed code only when it loads means smaller total downloads.

Title : How to create widget in GWT 2.0?
Author : ManningPublications
Date : Mon Nov 28th, 2011

With GWT v2, it is going to be a rare occasion where you need to create a widget directly from the Document Object Model (DOM). This is because GWT 2.0 covers nearly all the widgets we can think of. If you are using a GWT version lower than 2.0 then you may find some things missing (such as a widget wrapping the SPAN element—GWT 2.0 provides InlineLabel, which does that).

Title : Getting Response through GWT using Http Protocol

Date : Mon Mar 21st, 2011

This article deals with getting the response from the server side using Google Web ToolKit Framework and Ajax. Google Web ToolKit is one of the Ajax frameworks which is mainly aimed at Java Developers.The main advantage of GWT is that it comes with a compiler which will translate the Java code written by the developers to highly optimized , browser independent Java Script, thereby eliminating the need of front-end developers to know Java.

Title : Internationalisation(i18n) in GWT Application
Author : BinduPriya
Date : Mon Jan 31st, 2011

Internationalization is the technique of designing the application to be attuned with different regions or countries where the application needs to be run. Internationalization requires separation of the usage data to be internationalized into properties file. In the Java programming language, internationalization is usually implemented by means of Resource Bundles i.e., a .properties file for each locale that needs to be supported. GWT also uses the same mechanism of implementing internationalization using Resource Bundles.

Title : Google Web Toolkit (GWT) 2.0 Application Development
Author : PacktPub
Date : Tue Jan 25th, 2011

GWT 2.0 radically improves the web experience for users by using the existing Java tools to build a no-compromise AJAX for any modern browser. It provides a solid platform so that the other great libraries can be built on top of the GWT. Creating web applications efficiently and making them impressive, however, is not as easy as it sounds. Writing web applications for multiple browsers can be quite tasking. In addition, building, reusing, and maintaining large JavaScript code bases and AJAX components can be difficult. GWT 2.0 Application Development Cookbook eases these burdens by allowing the developers to build and maintain complex, yet highly efficient JavaScript frontend applications in the Java programming language quickly. It tells you how to make the web experience all the more thrilling and hassle-free by using various tools along with the GWT SDK.

Title : Google App Engine Java and GWT Application Development
Author : PacktPub
Date : Mon Jan 24th, 2011

This book is designed to give developers the tools they need to build their own Google App Engine (GAE) with Google Web Toolkit (GWT) applications, with a particular focus on some of the technologies useful for building social-media-oriented applications. The book is centered on a GAE + GWT Java application called Connectr, which is developed throughout the chapters and demonstrates, by example, the use of the technologies described in the book. The application includes social-media information gathering and aggregation activities and incorporates the use of many App Engine services and APIs, as well as GWT design patterns and widget examples. Several stages of the Connectr application are used throughout the book as features are added to the app. Code is included with the book for all application stages, and each chapter indicates the stage used.

Title : History Management in GWT
Author : BinduPriya
Date : Sat Jan 22nd, 2011

GWT is a toolkit used to write AJAX applications using java language. It comes with Java to JavaScript compiler and a special browser that helps in debugging the GWT applications. GWT Provides lot of user interface widgets that can be utilized to create new applications.There are two modes of running GWT application. They are: 1. Development mode 2.Production mode. In Development Mode, the application runs java byte code within the JVM. As it runs within the JVM it takes the advantage of java’s debugging facilities. In Production Mode ,the application run’s as JavaScript and HTML using GWT compiler which converts Java code to JavaScript.

J2ME (Java 2 Micro Edition) is an advanced technology in Java, developed with the help of Java Community Process Program. J2ME is a reduced version of the Java API and Java Virtual Machine that is designed to operate within the limited resources available in the embedded computers and microcomputers.

Title : Comparison of AJAX Frameworks: Prototype, GWT, DWR and Thinware
Author : MarceloGiorgi
Date : Thu May 24th, 2007

These days we can see that the concept of Web 2.0 is becoming popular. Web 2.0 refers to the concept of new web applications that are interactive in nature and are intended to help people to collaborate and offer services for them, not just static HTML. This stuff became possible, in part, by means of the AJAX technology. For us, java developers, to build applications that are aligned with this very concept of Web 2.0 involves the selection of one tool (or framework) that helps us to accomplish our needs.
