Each chapter covers a series of practical tasks, showing how to achieve a particular useful result – and then learn how it works so that you can apply your knowledge to your own unique situation. Readers will need experience writing non-trivial applications using Java. Experience with developing web interfaces is useful, but knowledge of JavaScript and DHTML is not required… GWT takes care of that!

Great practicum,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Google Web Toolkit GWT Java AJAX Programming: A step-by-step to Google Web Toolkit for creating Ajax applications fast (Paperback)
A practicum is a course designed to give students practice in a previously studied field, and that's what this book is: if you are a developer who understands Java and at least something about web development, this practical guide will immediately get you up to speed on working, practical uses of GWT. This is not about the internals of GWT, but about how to use it, and, if you haven't heard, Google Web Toolkit lets Java developers create Ajaxified web applications without becoming Javascript experts. One of the nicest things about this book is that the clear and logical explanations are accompanied by runnable examples that actually compile and work as is! Amazing! This may not be your last book on Ajax and GWT, but it probably should be your first since it puts you immediately on your feet with a clear, firm grasp both of what this new technology is all about as well as how to use it today.

Disappointing Performance By PACKT,
This review is from: Google Web Toolkit GWT Java AJAX Programming: A step-by-step to Google Web Toolkit for creating Ajax applications fast (Paperback)
I was very disappointed with "Google Web Toolkit GWT Java AJAX Programming" by Prabhakar
Chaganti. First is a general sloppiness with regard to getting technical details right. The book presents many examples but it becomes clear early on that the author has not ever run the vast majority of the example code in print. How do I know. Because I had to clean up numerous compile time errors before they would run at all. The types of errors are very basic Java novice syntax errors but they reveal a sloppiness and a low standard held by the author as well as by the publisher PACKT ( where was the editor ). I tried to get around this problem by assuming that the publishing standard was the problem and I could get the source code for the examples and everything would be fine. Wrong. The book promises source code for the examples in the book but if you go to the web site ( at least as of July 1st, 2007 ) and you want to get source code for examples the first thing you have to do is to select from a menu the book you want code for. The title "Google Web Toolkit ...." was not on the menu so I could not get code. I have sent email to the author explaining the problems but I have not received any response. I have spent good money but have gotten nothing.

loaded with errors, not worth the money,

This review is from: Google Web Toolkit GWT Java AJAX Programming: A step-by-step to Google Web Toolkit for creating Ajax applications fast (Paperback)
I got this book because it was the only one I could find on the market at the time. It seemed to me that this book was rushed to market; a good portion of the code examples contained errors so it would not compile or did not produce the results that were expected.
The downloadable code contains working code but the publisher didn't bother to put the code into the correct directory structure; everything is in the base directory even though the files themselves are in packages. This book is not substantive enough to justify a $40+ price tag especially since it's riddled with errors I would recommend one of the other books on GWT that are now on the market over this one, they are more sustantive, better put together, and more reasonably priced for what you get.
