6 More GWT Tutorials

Dietrich Kappe, Thursday, September 20, 2007 @ 10:59 am

Since posting 36 GWT Tutorials, a few more have made their way onto the web. Many of these are more sophisticated than the last batch, developing non-trivial example applications, a sign that GWT development is maturing:

1. GWT and OpenLayers integration - OpenLayers is an open source GeoServer, sort of an OpenSource google maps. The tutorial demonstrates integrating GWT with OpenLayers using Eclipse. Lots of code and screen shots with a simple working application at the end.
2. Screencast Tutorial for GWT-RPC in Eclipse - if you learn better by watching someone drive and IDE, you can follow along as someone uses GWT 1.4.10 to create and extend a simple GWT-RPC app in Eclipse (3.2).
3. Integrating XForms with GWT - another in a series of quality tutorials published at IBM's Developer Works. What are XForms? XForms 1.0 defines a device-neutral, platform-independent set of form controls suitable for general-purpose use. They are implemented in Mozilla Browsers (Firefox, etc.) through XUL. So, marrying XForms and GWT.
4. Simplifying Ajax development using Cypal Studio for GWT - pointed out to me by my colleague Noel Rappin. Cypal studio is a plugin for Eclipse that simplifies common GWT tasks.
5. Building an Offline Salesforce Application with GWT and Gears - integrating Google Gears, Apache Axis, GWT and Salesforce.com. If you want to see how to build a non-trivial application that stretches the bounds of Ajax and the browser, this is an excellent tutorial.
6. Creating a GWT War File in Eclipse - really more of a recipe than a tutorial, but still useful.

If you know of any other new GWT tutorials, feel free to add them in the comments.
