Simply put - GWT allows developers to write AJAX enabled widgets / web applications in Java, while the browser-optimized JavaScript is generated through a compiler. The benefits are plenty:
- One code base can be used, but multiple variations (i.e. support for different browsers) generated.
- The ability to use Java IDEs for creating and debugging applications
- Great library of pre-existing widgets
- Built in RPC support
I spent some time re-recording / editing this presentation, and am now able to start posting the results. The first part is up now, and focuses on a short background regarding AJAX. The remaining parts (those focused more on GWT than AJAX) will be posted before the end of this week.
