Pro Web 2.0 Application Development with GWT

Pro Web 2.0 Application Development by Jeff Dwyer is the first book on professional Web 2.0 principles that includes the Google Web Toolkit (GWT). GWT is one of the leading Java Ajax frameworks in market, and is very hot in terms of relative growth; it can be integrated with other broader Java frameworks like JBoss Seam and possibly Spring. The book's focus on a single, extremely rich, example 'killer application' is what sets this apart from other GWT titles.


Jeff Dwyer is a developer and entrepreneur who is the founder of ToCollege.net and MyHippocampus.com. His background is in medical software, where he has published research on aneurysm stress and endovascular repair and has patented techniques in anatomical visualization. As a developer, Jeff likes nothing better than to leverage high-quality open source code so he can focus on the core elements of his projects. He believes that Google Web Toolkit has fundamentally altered the feasibility of large Web 2.0 applications.
