Exploring the Google Web Toolkit

> The recently released Google Web Toolkit (GWT) is a comprehensive set of APIs and tools that lets you create dynamic Web applications almost entirely in JavaÃ¢â��Â¢ code. Philip McCarthy returns to his popular Ajax for Java developers series to show you what GWT can do and help you decide whether it’s right for you.

Still can’t decide if GWT is for you? Read this article for a good overview of the strengths and weaknesses of the framework, and you might be in a better position to make up your mind. Personally, I find it’s a bit too much like developing GUI applications, and I don’t feel too comfortable with the vendor lock-in.
