Google Developer Day US - Fast, Easy, Beautiful: GWT

Fast, Easy, Beautiful: Pick Three — Building Web User Interfaces in the Java Programming Language with Google Web Toolkit
Bruce Johnson, Joel Webber
The Google Web Toolkit (GWT) is an open source Java-centric framework for creating AJAX applications. GWT cross-compiles Java source into JavaScript, allowing Java developers to use their existing Java skills and tools to easily create AJAX applications with virtually no learning curve. After a short introduction to GWT, we will dive quickly into a few key topics including high-performance AJAX, remote procedure calls, and integration with existing web applications.

    This video does not load, or loads very, very slowly. Waited 20 minutes and got 30 seconds. Other youtube videos load fine. Tried different browsers, too.

    Why did everybody laugh when the guy said:”Even dough it’s open source we’ve decided to document it.”

    People don’t want to dive into 50,000 lines of code to find out one-by-one what each method/class does. Seems normal and obvious to me to document it :), by the way great work on this.

    The joke was about the lack of documentation for open-source projects. He was saying, “Unlike a typical open-source project, we’ve actually bothered to document.”

    Excellent video. Nicely presented. After watching it I’m actually excited about writing AJAX which I never was never before because of how hacky it usually tends to be. GWT seems to address this issue head on rather than other frameworks I’ve seen.

    Excellent video. I’m actually excited about writing AJAX which I never was before because of how hacky it normally tends to be. Cross-compiling from Java to JavaScript is such a smart idea core idea. It’s a way better paradigm than code generators and straight JS libraries which tends to create idiosyncratic macro-languages with no tools. Image-bundle along with compile-time errors are a major major wins from this not to mention the JS code optimizations that this allows.

    Disclaimer: I haven’t yet worked with GWT.

    The biggest complaint he had “it doesn’t work cross-browser” can easily be addressed with MochiKit. Not only that, but MochiKit makes DOM and AJAX pretty easy.

    Huh? Isn’t GWT already cross-browser?

    I was referring to how the Google guy was complaining about the cross-browser compatibility of JavaScript in general.

    I’ve seen some notes about ‘eclipse’, I’d just like to point out that GWT does not need anything other than Java compiler and GWT jar dependency to cross-compile. There is a Netbeans and Eclipse plug-in, but you don’t have to use them.
