The entirecore GWT library will be discussed, with details and examples on how it canbe extended.The Web is experiencing a new and exciting growth, with a strong emphasis onrich web-based applications. These applications suffer from being difficult tobuild because they require knowledge of numerous browser incompatibilities,are difficult to debug, and require the use of JavaScript, a language which lackssophisticated object-oriented structures and static typing.GWT overcomes these shortcomings by bringing rich web-clients to Java.This book will show Java developers how to take advantage of this excitingnew technology, and allow them to build the next generation of rich web-basedapplications.
