My company is examining front end technologies and we're a java shop so everyone is interested in GWT. As a web developer (the html/css/ javascript type - and i _like_ javascript) I'm curious where I fit in. I've paged through a number of books and watched a number of online videos and it seems that one argument for using GWT is to remove me from the process. That can't be entirely true.
Yes, there is CSS development. However, its not unusual to need to edit html in order to get the required appearance. Further, there is the development of new widgets. Yes, I've read the FAQ but I still don't see where my html lives. Is there complete documentation on this somewhere? Finally, does GWT really free you from browser incompatibility concerns? I've seen examples in books that would indicate otherwise which is disappointing. Very rarely do I see reason for platform specific code in css or js, i would certainly never want it to creep into the java which i think all java devs will agree with. Oh, and how do java developers feel about taking over responsibility for something that would have been a web developer task? While it may sound good in theory, its my guess that many java developers would prefer to avoid the front end all together. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Web Toolkit" group.
