Sessions at Google I/O 2011 about Google Web Toolkit on Wednesday 11th May

We'll look at how enterprise developers can use Google Web Toolkit and the new UI Designer in Google Plugin for Eclipse to quickly build web user interfaces that are not only fast, lightweight and cross-browser compatible but reusable and easy to maintain as well.

Mobile web application development is HOT. But many developers are already familiar with web technologies such as HTML, CSS, JavaScript and GWT for building modern web applications. In this talk we will discuss how you can use these skills, and code, to build great web apps for mobile devices.

How can you take advantage of new HTML5 features in your GWT applications? In this session, we answer that question in the form of demos -- lots and lots of demos. We'll cover examples of how to use Canvas (for visualizations), drag and drop, CSS3 features, and more within your GWT applications.

The GWT compiler isn't just a Java to JavaScript transliterator. In this session, we'll show you compiler optimizations to shrink your app and make it compile and run faster. Learn common performance pitfalls, how to use lightweight cell widgets, how to use code splitting with Activities and Places, and compiler options to reduce your app's size and compile time.

GWT does more than make awesome Enterprise Apps, it's a great tool for games too. Learn to write 2D and 3D games using HTML5 and GWT, leverage and port existing game libraries and physics engines, share game code between GWT and Android, publish to the Chrome Web Store, and of course, see demos of really neat GWT games in action.
