This course presents two programming frameworks to develop modern web applications: Project jMaki and Google Web Toolkit (GWT).Project jMaki is a lightweight client/server framework for creating JavaScript technology centric Ajax applications using CSS layouts, a widget-based interaction model, client services such as publish/subscribe events to tie widgets together, JavaScript technology action handlers, and a generic proxy to interact with external RESTful web services. Project jMaki can interact with many Ajax component libraries, such as the Dojo toolkit.The Google Web Toolkit is a Java technology-based web application framework that lets you implement Ajax-enabled web applications without knowledge of Ajax or JavaScript technologies. This tutorial spans the gamut of developing applications with GWT. We will start with GWT fundamentals and work our way up to advanced topics such as implementing custom widgets, database access, and drag and drop. Come see how you can develop rich, interactive web applications with this exciting framework!
