First question you must aks yourself: Whats benefits give GWT at in JS at all ? And the answer is: static typing language for JavaScript (producing). Do you trust in static typing ? :-) It is matter if you practice: Tdd/Unit testing Source refactoring Less error prone code (through static

I recommand using GWT... hands down. Not having to write javascript directly is a thing of beauty. Why worry about all of the cross- browser inconsistencies when GWT has taken care of that for you? ;-) On Jul 14, 11:39 am, Dalla dalla_man...@hotmail.com wrote: Well, I can give you my thoughts

I'm using PHP and GWT for my projects, i've done a lot of work around and here's my though : Not enough documentation around the PHP and GWT projet. I had no enough time to go around the libraries and learn everything from the code and the exemples. I really hope this project will eventually

I'm going to have to say no on this. If you're a PHP programmer with little to no Java experience since version 1.4, I would say you are going to burn yourself. GWT programming requires some fundamental knowledge of Java. You can take a look at those of us trying to digest the Google IO Best

I'm going to have to say yes :-) I didn't know Java before I started on GWT. If you have experience of other curly-bracket languages, Java is not a problem. Programming is about knowing how to solve problems, not about knowing whether to use 'print', 'echo', 'write', 'sysout', or ''. Ian

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

- Is GWT for me? Or I'd rather use Dojotoolkit or another Javascript library? That's a hard question. IMHO, GWT is primarily for building a complete JS based web application, not for sprinkling some AJAX in a few places. However, there are a lot of examples of websites that have AJAX

My situation is quite similar to yours. I've decided to take all future PHP faceless and use GWT to build all client-facing pages. I can communicate with my PHP libraries by passing variables around. Having done some Object Oriented PHP code, picking up Java hasn't been that difficult. And, as I

Hi! I'm a web programmer. I mainly code in PHP with MySQL and also familiar with XHTML and CSS. I also have some Java and basic JavaScript knowledge. But I never used Ajax before. I was thinking that it might not worth to study how Ajax works cause it'd take lots of time and I thought using a
