GWT - Google Web Toolkit Developer

Google Web Toolkit (GWT) allows Java developers to create Web 2.0-ready AJAX front ends. GWT compiles these Java artifacts into optimized JavaScript for all major browsers. This GWT training course provides a foundation in developing front-end modules with GWT widgets, panels, events and other mechanisms.

In this GWT training class, students learn develop their GWT skills by learning to use advanced widgets and panels, to work with client-server communication, to build JavaScript bridges and much more.
