Intro to GWT
The Google Web Toolkit (GWT) is an open source framework that allows developers to create Ajax web applications using the Java language.
Using GWT, developers have access to Java's robust development tools and debugging capabilities when creating their applications. When their application is ready to be deployed, the GWT compiler will compile your Java source code into highly optimized Javascript.
Advantages of GWT
- Easy Ajax development - No actual AJAX knowledge required.
- Tooling support - Easy code editing, refactoring and debugging using any Java IDE.
- Write once, work everywhere - Your web applications will work across all the popular browsers. GWT handles all the browser quirks for you.
