This revised edition of the best-selling GWT book covers the new features introduced in GWT 2.4 and 2.5, along with the best practices that have emerged in the GWT community. It starts with a quick introduction to GWT and Ajax, helping you grasp essential concepts and tools. Key topics include managing events, server interactions, creating UI components, and building user interfaces declaratively with UiBinder.
Google Web Toolkit enables developers to write web applications in Java, which GWT then cross-compiles into JavaScript. This open-source framework, supported by Google, offers a library of high-quality interface components and productivity tools. The resulting JavaScript is efficient and effective.
The book emphasizes modern application design and industry best practices, such as implementing MVP, using dependency injection, and optimizing code. It is tailored for Java developers, requiring no prior GWT knowledge. Buyers of the print edition receive a free PDF, ePub, and Kindle eBook, along with access to all code examples.
The content is structured into three parts: the basics of building GWT applications, next steps including widget creation and data presentation, and advanced topics like event handling and dependency injection. Co-authored by experienced developers, this edition is a comprehensive guide for anyone looking to master GWT.
