Course Overview

---

Google says that its Web Toolkit (GWT) enables developers to write, test and debug their web applications using their own preferred Java tools and integrated development environments (IDEs). The GWT compiler converts the Java classes to reusable Javascript and HTML, which will generally work similarly on different browsers, particularly if you stick to the built-in widgets. However, there will be limits to what you can do with the built-in components, since Google says it has concentrated on "ensuring that the basics of GWT work very well rather than adding dozens of special-purpose widgets". Having open-sourced GWT, Google expects the user community to build most of the libraries. GWT can be used royalty-free for commercial applications.
