Google's GWT Creates Excitement, Controversy
The GWT approach to building web-based applications using
AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML),
was released on 16 May 2005, described in the
Google Web Toolkit (GWT), and as discussed
in the
Official GWT Discussion Forum.
To suggest that there is a lot of interest in GWT
is something of an understatement.
By 27 May 2006 the GWT discussion group had attracted a total of
over 2,200 posts from around 1,800 different readers.
What is remarkable is that all of the discussion
involved a large number of responses to posts by
members of the GWT team,
which has obviously been tracking all of that discussion.
This is evidenced in the
Google Web ToolKit Blog
which announced that
an updated release of GWT was made on
25 May 2006.
That release fixed at least a dozen major issues.
It looks like GWT is on its way!
