All these loosely articles cover quite some information and are quite good on its own but I totally understand you if you are missing a red line you can follow and when you are done you are able to write sophisticated GWT applications. But thats quite some work and the GWT team is relatively small. Thats why you only find loosely articles describing selected GWT features and some small GWT example applications in the SDK. Personally I never read a GWT book. I have watched some Google IO videos on Youtube regarding GWT development and read up the basic stuff on gwtproject.org. It ways like learning by doing and when stuck ask in this group (or better search before asking as a lot of valuable information is already available in this group) or search for a corresponding article on gwtproject.org. It had worked ok for me and I had never done web development before using GWT. > What I am searching for is a "let's go through the best practice > development circle of a gwt web app and use all the suggested architectural > concepts there are in order to provide you, dear reader, with a basic but > reasonable project you can use as a starting point for and adapt to your > own projects"-kind-of-tutorial. > > The book Joel suggested seems the nearest hit and I'll give it a try (and > it seems to be the most recent resource). > I have never read it and I think it uses some code from libraries you might not want to use in your app but maybe it is helpful for you and you have not discovered it yet: https://code.google.com/p/gwt-gae-book/wiki/Introduction Thanks again for your detailed reply.
