Google Web Toolkit unifies client and server code into a single application written in one language: Java. GWT lets you create a web application in much the same way as you would create a Swing application - creating visual components, setting up event handlers, debugging, and so forth - all within a familiar IDE.

This Friday provides you with a thorough introduction to the Google Web Toolkit. From installation, through your first application, to UI components and Remote Procedure calls, you'll learn the ins and outs of the framework. Some knowledge of Java programming and HTML is assumed, but you don't have to be an expert in web programming.
