Presentations

Google Web Toolkit (GWT)

This talk introduces the GWT, an open-source, Java-based framework for creating Ajax web applications.

GWT makes writing web applications similar to Swing applications. It dramatically reduces the need to understand HTML and JavaScript, while retaining the use of CSS for formatting. We'll cover the advantages of using GWT over other web app. frameworks and walk through the steps to create a new application. An application will be written before your eyes to demonstrate how easy it is.
