Product Description

Product Description

With Google Web Toolkit, Java developers can build sophisticated Rich Internet Applications (RIAs) and complete Web sites using the powerful IDEs and tools they already use. Now, with GWT 2, Google Web Toolkit has become even more useful. Essential GWT shows how to use this latest version of GWT to create production solutions that combine superior style, performance, and interactivity with exceptional quality and maintainability.

 

Federico Kereki quickly reviews the basics and then introduces intermediate and advanced GWT skills, covering issues ranging from organizing projects to compiling and deploying final code. Throughout, he focuses on best-practice methodologies and design patterns. For example, you’ll learn how to use the MVP (model-view-presenter) pattern to improve application design and support automated testing for agile development.

 

Kereki illuminates each concept with realistic code examples that help developers jump-start their projects and get great results more quickly. Working with the latest versions of open source tools such as Eclipse, Subversion, Apache, Tomcat, and MySQL, he demonstrates exactly how GWT fits into real Web development environments. Coverage includes

 

  • Using the Google Plugin for Eclipse and the GWT Shell Script
  • Detecting and working with browsers—and solving the problems they cause
  • Building better user interfaces with the MVP pattern
  • Using APIs for visualization, mapping, weather data, and more
  • Internationalizing and localizing GWT code
  • Securing GWT applications with cryptography, hashing, and encryption
  • Testing with JUnit, Emma, GWTTestCase, Selenium, and Mock Objects
  • Deploying client-only and client-plus-server GWT applications

Best book ever on GWT 26 Aug 2010
Format:Paperback
We have a big project based on GWT, I wish I read this book last year, because he clearly explain several topic that we learned painfully.
Lots of useful insights and technical information very hard to find elsewhere.
Absolutely recommended.

This is a great introduction to GWT. Sure there's lots of reference information out there on the InterWeb, but the author of this book brings some hard-earned lessons along with him.

I wish I had shares in the book: I've got printed and Kindle copies for myself, and I've bought copies for two developers working under me.

Timeliness really is an important aspect in books about GWT. Right now (Summer 2011) this is the most recent quality book on GWT. Don't even think about reading books from 2007/2008: GWT has moved on a long, long way since there. Now you need to be thinking about MVP implementation, Code Splitting, and use of uiBinder/WindowBuilder.

A great book.

It's ok 10 Nov 2010
By Josh
Format:Paperback
I haven't read technical stuff on paper for several years now, what with the web and all that. As I'm new to GWT, programming the web 2.0 in general, and App Engine, I felt like I needed some kind of grounding in it all, and this book was the only one I found even remotely up-to-date. I guess the book delivered that grounding. I feel like I learnt something. It's just that learning can be so much fun, and complete source listings are not fun, especially on paper.
