Well, I can give you my thoughts on this :-) I tried using Dojo some time ago, and thought it had some really neat features. Though I didn´t like all having to write java script from scratch...
Later I stumbled upon GWT, and I really liked it. Maybe it´s not so strange that I liked it since I was a java web developer using Struts 2 and JSP already, but I love being able to develop AJAX applications from pure java code, being able to use all the benefits of eclipse, debugging, and so on. I´m not sure you´d have to create separate projects for PHP and GWT if you don´t want to, but maybe it would be a good idea for other reasons. I would start with GWT if I was you, but like I said, I was a java developer before, and also you´re asking your question on a GWT forum, so what´s to expect? :-) --Dalla http://date-time.appspot.com/ On 14 Juli, 13:20, pappfer <[email protected]> wrote: > For some reason I couldn't send this reply to my old > thread:http://groups.google.com/group/Google-Web-Toolkit/browse_thread/threa... > So I started this with the same title. > > Thank you for your replies! > I decided to stick with Dojo if I use some animation. > > But now I want to build up a completely new website and a question got > in my head again.
