InfoQ has published an interview of Jeff Dwyer. Jeff is the author of "Pro
Web 2.0 Application Development with GWT" :
Learning GWT, if I spent X of my time figuring out GWT I spent 3X that much
time integrating it with Maven, Spring Security & MVC, Hibernate &
SiteMesh and 5X that time figuring out the right architectural patterns. Plain
vanilla GWT is easy. It's the integration details that are complex. So that's
what this book is. A walking tour through the 15,000 lines of ToCollege.net
source code.

Charlie Collins :
I spent a few hours tonight making a GWT in Practice project over a Google
Code Hosting. [...] This project includes the sample code in SVN, has links to
the relevant GWT in Practice web pages, and has running samples for a few of
the apps (for the ones that are only client side code, and therefore capable of
being hosted at gCode).
[...]
Lastly, if you have read GWT in Practice and could do an Amazon review, that
would be super, super duper. We have had a lot of really good feedback, but
only a few people that took the time to do the review - would be nice to have a
few more.

Robert Hanson :
According to the JavaOne site, GWT in Action was #3 on the best sellers list
for JavaOne. Adam and I had no idea that they had a best sellers list, but as
you can guess we are extremely pleased with how well our book did.

Ajax On Java :
This practical guide shows you how to make your Java web applications more
responsive and dynamic by incorporating new Ajaxian features, including
suggestion lists, drag-and-drop, and more. Java developers can choose between
many different ways of incorporating Ajax, from building JavaScript into your
applications "by hand" to using the new Google Web Toolkit (GWT).
The book branches out into different approaches for incorporating Ajax, which
include:
-
The Prototype and script.aculo.us Javascript libraries, the
Dojo and Rico libraries, and DWR
-
Integrating Ajax into Java ServerPages (JSP)
applications
-
Using Ajax with Struts
-
Integrating Ajax into Java ServerFaces (JSF)
applications
-
Using Google's GWT, which offers a pure Java approach to
developing web applications: your client-side components are written in Java,
and compiled into HTML and JavaScript

This short cut assumes that you have already installed GWT and have
experimented with its basic features. It also assumes that you’re comfortable
with techniques like implementing event listeners as anonymous inner classes
and know how to construct applications using panels and widgets. Some of the
more advanced aspects of the GWT are explored in this short cut using two
applications: an address book and a Yahoo! trip viewer.

Bruce W. Perry : "The Google
Web Toolkit (GWT) is a nifty framework that Java programmers can use to create
Ajax applications. The GWT allows you to create an Ajax application in your
favorite IDE, such as IntelliJ IDEA or Eclipse, using paradigms and mechanisms
similar to programming a Java Swing application. After you code the application
in Java, the GWT's tools generate the JavaScript code the application
needs."

Web Toolkit for Ajax

Ajax just got a lot easier.
GWT—The Google Web Toolkit—is a set of APIs and tools that lets developers
build rich web applications almost entirely in Java. Creating web applications
with GWT feels a lot like coding in Swing or SWT. GWT hides the complexity of
Ajax but still gives you control over the details. You wind up with better web
apps faster—all without learning a new programming model.
GWT in Action is a comprehensive tutorial for Java developers exploring GWT.
It's clearly-written and packed with hands-on GWT examples. Authors Robert
Hanson and Adam Tacy will be your guides as you
• Absorb the GWT philosophy as you build your first working GWT
app.
• Follow a clever dashboard example running throughout the book.
• Quickly master the basics of GWT: widgets, panels, and event
handling. With those concepts in hand you'll really put GWT through its
paces.
The book explores the toolkit's RPC tools and JSON/XML support, the Java to
JavaScript interface (JSNI), and automatic code generation. As well,
you'll
• Learn useful RPC related patterns including various polling
techniques.
• Handle real-world concerns like internationalization, testing, and
support.
• Leverage Java best-practices for GWTdevelopment.
