XML.com recently featured an introduction to web application development using the Google Web Toolkit (GWT). GWT was released at JavaOne in May of this year, and IBM DeveloperWorks also posted one the week before. Currently GWT fully supports development on Windows and Linux with hosted mode OS X support promised in the future.GWT allows the creation of Ajax web applications using only Java code. In hosted development mode your GWT appliction code continues to run as Java inside the JVM. This allows developers to leverage their existing IDE's for functionality like profiling and debugging. At deployment time GWT project code is compiled into Javascript form and ready to run in a browser. UI development features a Swing like widget API which is event driven. GWT also adds an RPC layer that shields developers form the complexities of using the XMLHttpRequest object.
GWT has been gaining support in the Java community since its release. Sites are already appearing featuring integration with third-party Javascript API's such as Script.aculo.us. Support of GWT has also been announced for IntelliJ and for Netbeans.

You should really point readers to the GWT Widget Library on sourceforge: http://gwt-widget.sourceforge.net . The link above only has 9 components, and hasn't had anything new in many weeks! The GWT Widget Lib has over 50 classes! Nobody paid me to say this =) John Reynolds http://www.twofeetthick.com/jr
John - thanks for the pointer! :)
Thin client paradigm characterized by web applications is a kludge that needs to be repudiated. Old compromises are no longer needed and it's time to move the presentation tier to where it belongs.
In this presentation filmed during QCon 2007, Jeff Sutherland, the creator of Scrum, talks about his visit at Google to do an analysis of Google's first implementation of Scrum.
In this article, Bryon Jacob and Chris Berry introduce AtomServer, their implementation of a full-fledged Atom Store based on Apache Abdera, which is now available as open source.
It is easy to think that virtualization applies only to servers. In reality the recent resurgence of the concept is also being applied to networking, storage, and application infrastructure.
In this article, Stefan Tilkov explains some of the most common anti-patterns found in applications that claim to follow a "RESTful" design and suggests ways to avoid them.
In this article, Adrien Louis and Marc Dutoo discuss the differences and relative merits of using orchestration vs. routing in a typical ESB setup, and discuss various implementation options.
Wayne Lund discusses batch processing, Spring Batch objectives and features, scenarios for usage, Spring Batch architecture, scaling, example code, failures and retrying, and the future roadmap.
Developer Jay Fields draws on his experiences as a ThoughtWorks consultant to describe effective user story estimation techniques.
