Hey, I'm looking to make a webapp, and right now I'm really intrigued by what the Google Web Toolkit offers. I'm familiar with PHP, MySQL, HTML, and CSS from a few years ago, and I've taken a few Java classes a few years back. Right now I'm trying to make a Web App that is very similar to a calendar that is going to manipulate dates and times and what not. I was going to use AJAX to connect with the server, and PHP to manipulate the dates etc. Anyways, I read some articles, such as this: http://www.ryandoherty.net/2007/04/29/why-google-web-toolkit-rots-your-brain/ and was wondering what you guys have experienced with this. I LOVE google products, so I figured this couldn't be bad, but I thought I'd get a second oppinion before I started devoting large amounts of time learning to do something to just find that I'd have been better off sticking with PHP, JS, & CSS.
By the way, I'm going to need to integrate with a web database. The obvious one for me was MySQL, but that was mainly because PHP integrates so easily with it. What kind of options do I have with this while using GWT? I'd rather not have to have GWT integrate with PHP, and then MySQL, or some other ridiculous thing. What options do I have here?
