Getting Started

Abstract

In this chapter, we’ll start using the Google Web Toolkit (GWT). We’ll show you what’s in the package and what you need to know to start developing applications using GWT. We’ll do this by showing you how to set up the development environment and start running the sample application that accompanies this book. In the remaining chapters, we’ll use the sample application to illustrate different aspects of developing applications in GWT. Eventually, the sample application will become a full task-management application as described in Chapter 1.
