Google GWT for AJAXian Widgets Thursday 2006-06-29

The newly released Google Web Toolkit, or GWT for short uses a somewhat unexpected route to build GUI’s for the web. You write the components of your user interface using Java and then compile it with the GWT compiler. What you get is a mix of HTML, XML and Javascript.

A must read for programmers, who want to develop applications, is the an excellent article entitled “Exploring the Google Web Toolkit” by Philip McCarty of IBM DeveloperWorks.

In the article he describes how to build the GUI and set up the AJAXian RPC communication to use a weather service. It is instructive and detailed and it gives you a good feeling for what can be done with this new toolkit and API.

Go get the Google Web Toolkit SDK and read the article at IBM DeveloperWorks.
