Hi Mike, I was considering using Flash to build my site (http:// www.yournextpresent.com), but i'm really glad I chose GWT in the end! I was able to get all the animations I required working using the GWTFX library (http://code.google.com/p/gwt-fx/) and even got google crawling my site using the

Hi Mike, my two cents. We implemented a product which is entire site itself and even allows others ( if they download and install it) to build kind of entire site, limited somehow though. Ref. http://www.projectkaiser.com:8080/pk. This is a project management and issue tracking solution which can

Hi Mike, We built our entire website using GWT (www.xplana.com) and it's been really great. Thanks to GWT, you can develop complex ajax application easily and quickly because everything is done in Java and UiBinder is really helpful to design your screens. Following the MVP pattern is definetely

If your site is big enough to require a dedicated server I recommend Glassfish, but some projects just aren't big enough and shared Java hosting is very difficult to come by. Last time I looked for shared Java hosting some were starting to use Resin due to it's capability of handling both PHP and

We also decided to build our entire website using GWT (hosted on App Engine). It's early in the development process, but with a good MVP framework and UiBinder it is not that different from building a traditional website but you get a faster, richer and much more interactive experience. Check out

Mike, I am also flash/flex guy. Websites built with GWT can have workflow almost the same as those built with flash (especially if you are using Flash Builder od FDT). This is a great advantage for AS3 programmers. But like flash it is not crawlable by google so you have to implement it by

For our project we use Tomcat / Postgresql on server side. It works great. The hardest part is to be able to configure maven (if you use it) with gwt + wtp (eclipse tomcat plugin). But with the latest version of all the eclipse plugins, it should work fine. Nicolas. 2010/11/9 mike.cann

Hej Mike, GWT Rocks :D! A lot has changed since 2008. And i mean, A LOT. I know that there is a way now to allow web crawlers to scan your app but I don´t know how, since i´ve never used it so far. By default all of the JS script is loaded at start, but you can use code split to split your JS

In my opinion, a full website can be built with GWT (uiBinder is a great helper for this). This is the way that we chose in our company. it is really fantastic to code with gwt and it allows to use so many optimizations for the client side (client bundle, conditional css, ...). Every pages of the
