4、 Yet another GWT book ：GWT in Practice
Author: Robert Cooper ,Charles Collins.
If you’re a web developer, you already know that you can use Ajax to add rich, user-friendly, dynamic features to your applications. With the Google Web Toolkit (GWT), a new Ajax tool from Google that automatically converts Java to JavaScript, you can build Ajax applications using the Java language. GWT lets you focus on application design and functionality, rather than on browser differences, and allows you to re-use code throughout the layers of your applications.
GWT in Practice is an example-driven, code-rich book designed for web developers who have already learned the basics of GWT. After a quick review of GWT fundamentals, GWT in Practice presents scores of handy, reusable solutions to the problems you face when you need to move beyond "Hello World" and "proof of concept" applications.
This book skips the theory and looks at the way things really work when you’re building projects in GWT. You’ll learn: * How to create and customize widgets; * The ins and outs of RPC; * Packaging and building with Maven and Ant; * Using the Java Persistence API with GWT; * Effective internationalization. GWT in Practice shows you where GWT fits into the Enterprise Java developer's toolset.
Written by expert authors Robert Cooper and Charlie Collins, this book combines sharp insight with hard-won experience. Readers will find thorough coverage of all aspects of GWT development from the basic GWT concepts and essentials to in-depth and complete real world example applications. If you know the basics and are ready to get your hands dirty, then you need this book.

5、 Gwt in Action: Easy Ajax with the Google Web Toolkit
Author:Robert Hanson ,Adam Tacy
Publisher: Manning Publications (May 1, 2007)
Book Description
The Google Web Toolkit is a new technology that automatically translates Java into JavaScript, making Ajax applications easier to code and deploy. GWT in Action is a comprehensive tutorial for Java developers interested in building the next generation of rich, web-based applications. This book was written by Robert Hanson, creator of the popular GWT Widget Library and Adam Tacy a major contributor to the GWT Widget Library.
There is a new emphasis on building rich, web-based applications. These applications can be difficult to build because they rely on JavaScript, which lacks the sophisticated object-oriented structures and static typing of Java, they are tricky to debug, and they require you to manage numerous browser inconsistencies.
In May of 2006 Google released the Google Web Toolkit (GWT). GWT enables developers to create Ajax applications in Java. With GWT, you can build your applications using a real object-oriented language and take advantage of Java tools like Eclipse that are already available. Instead of trying to bring tool support to Ajax, Google brought Ajax to a place where the tools already existed.
GWT in Action shows you how to take advantage of these exciting new tools. Readers will follow an example running throughout the book and quickly master the basics of GWT: widgets, panels, and event handling. The book covers the full development cycle, from setting up your development environment, to building the application, then deploying it to the web server. The entire core GWT library is discussed, with details and examples on how it can be extended.
GWT helps you make the most of Ajax in your web applications and GWT in Action helps you get more out of GWT. Readers can download Early Access Chapters of GWT in Action now and participate in the Author Forum by visiting at the Manning site.

Google Web Toolkit by
Bruce Johnson,
Joel Webber
Book Details
The book begins with a tour of the Google Web Toolkit that provides a comprehensive overview of the basic facilities and the key ideas that underlie GWT. The first part of the book explores GWT's role in web development and explains how GWT fits into a traditional web technology stack. This section also articulates the principles that guided GWT design decisions, including the importance of maintaining well-known web usability patterns, interoperability, monolithic compilation, static typing, and minimizing HTTP round-trips.
The second part of the book provides a canonical description of GWT concepts and mechanics from a "how to use it" perspective that covers everything from the nuts and bolts of Java-to-JavaScript translation, to concepts related to the development pattern that GWT provides. Part three provides the foundation for more in-depth coverage of GWT concepts and mechanics from a "how to extend it" perspective. This includes complete chapters on configuration concepts, user interface programming, the GWT history mechanism, Remote Procedure Calls (RPC), and Internationalization.
The fourth part focuses on design patterns and best practices and provides advice on real-world approaches to building systems with GWT, with substantial chapters covering web usability, Model/View/Controller (MVC), building large applications, and optimization.

7 Pro Google Web Toolkit: Rapid Ajax for Java Developers
Book Description
Create cutting-edge Ajax-powered web sites easily using Google Web Toolkit (GWT). Because it comes with an impressive set of UI Widgets but doesnt require a deep knowledge of an underlying JavaScript to use them, GWT could be the Java developers ultimate tool for next-generation web development. Youll learn the basics of GWT development with Pro Google Web Toolkit, but unlike most others on the topic, youll go beyond beginner level and tackle more advanced techniques like Enterprise integration.
Youll begin by installing GWT, examining the GWT architecture, and putting together and debugging a basic application. Youll discover the full set of widgets, explained in detail, learn how to customize their appearance using CSS, and learn to write your own custom widgets, events, and listeners. Advanced topics involved with incorporating GWT front ends in enterprise applications are covered fully, including integrating GWT with JSPs, working effectively with designers and developers, source control, and using Ant for building, generation, and deployment. The book concludes with reference sections covering GWT classes, JSP tags, and Ajax classes, making it easy to look up information and help when you need it.
- Maximize the potential of this exciting, new Java-based Ajax/web development technology from Google using this comprehensive guide.
- Reference sections covering GWT classes, servlets, and tags offer fast and easy access to the information you need.
- Take it to the next level with advanced instruction on customizing existing widgets, creating your own widgets, and integrating GWT with enterprise applications.
What youll learn
