Java SIG: Hands on GWT coding session October 16, 2007

Bring your laptops and develop a simple GWT (http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/) application.

To quote the GWT home page:

"Google Web Toolkit (GWT) is an open source Java software development framework that makes writing AJAX applications like Google Maps and Gmail easy for developers who don't speak browser quirks as a second language. Writing dynamic web applications today is a tedious and error-prone process; you spend 90% of your time working around subtle incompatibilities between web browsers and platforms, and JavaScript's lack of modularity makes sharing, testing, and reusing AJAX components difficult and fragile.
GWT lets you avoid many of these headaches while offering your users the same dynamic, standards-compliant experience. You write your front end in the Java programming language, and the GWT compiler converts your Java classes to browser-compliant JavaScript and HTML."

If you have used GWT before then please come and help others learn. If you are new to GWT then get ready to learn.
