Google Web Toolkit (GWT) allows developers to build highly optimized, fast AJAX applications. GWT allows developers to code in the Java programming language using their favorite IDE tools, then cross-compile that source into plain JavaScript to be served just like any other webpage script. We’ll take a look at some performance techniques you can use in GWT to build even faster web apps.

This video provides an overview of new features in Google Web Toolkit (GWT) 2.0, a tool which enables developers to produce highly optimized, browser-specific JavaScript for their apps. Bruce Johnson, Joel Webber, Andrew Bowers, and Adam Schuck walk you through the newest tools and features in GWT 2.0 such as uiBinder, code splitting, speed tracer, and more.

Learn about one of Google Web Toolkit 2.0′s newest tools, Speed Tracer, in this video tutorial. This video provides an overview of Speed Tracer, a Chrome extension which enables developers to profile the internals of the browser, preventing bottlenecks by enabling diagnosis of hidden problems. Andrew Bowers will demonstrate how Speed Tracer is incorporated into the development cycle by walking through a Speed Tracer example.

The Google Web Toolkit (GWT) is an AJAX framework that enables developers to create rich user web pages with Java, it makes use of type-checking and code re-use. GWT compiles Java code to generate fast, cross-platform Javascript. The GWT-GRAILS plugin incorporates GWT code into your GSP pages, and it also simplifies the handling of RPC requests on the server. in this session, Peter Ledbrooke tells us more about the grails plugin for GWT.

Ajax, taken to its logical extreme, is essentially a 1990′s-style client/server architecture: one that has a vast, decentralized, and unpredictable network directly in its critical path. (The Internet, we’re talking about you.) Application developers have to grapple with network failures, latency, asynchonicity, multi-session synchronization, scalability, failover, cross-site scripting, and server security—and that’s in addition to actually being able to build an application in the first place. GWT gives you the plumbing to tackle these challenges head on, but finding the right architecture for your application can still be daunting. In …

One of the nicest things about working on an open source project is the atmosphere of community collaboration and brainstorming that it fosters. The GWT engineering team has been listening hard to the community about how GWT can be improved, and we’re excited to take you on a tour of the powerful new features that have resulted. GWT 2.0 contains huge improvements, including dynamic script loading, a new catalog of compiler optimizations, and a new approach to hosted mode debugging that promises to revolutionize your productivity. Without a doubt, it …

Stephan Janssen’s presentation is organized around Parleys.com, a web site whose front end is implemented in Flash. He explains why they dumped DHTML and switched to Flex/AIR. He also talks about two technologies that could be used instead, GWT and JavaFX, presenting their pros/cons.

Google Web Toolkit is providing more and more information to developers in terms of how it is compiling your code, and how you can improve it. In this session, we will explain the tools available to you, how to interpret the results, and how you can guide this choose-your-own-adventure in the direction you want.

Don’t throw away your Web 1.0 websites just yet. In this session, you’ll learn how to take your existing websites, and layer AJAX on top of them using GQuery, a jQuery style library for GWT. Learn how GQuery benefits performance over existing solutions, increases productivity, and reduces defects by leveraging the GWT tool chain.

Google Web Toolkit provides the infrastructure you need to build a high performance web application and leaves the architecture open to fit your needs. Learn from others who have gone before. In this session we’ll discuss best practices that real web applications are using to achieve high performance event handling, UI creation, and more.
