Google App Engine Java and GWT Application Development

Abstract

This book is designed to give developers the tools they need to build their own Google App Engine (GAE) with Google Web Toolkit (GWT) applications, with a particular focus on some of the technologies useful for building social-media-oriented applications. The book is centered on a GAE + GWT Java application called Connectr, which is developed throughout the chapters and demonstrates, by example, the use of the technologies described in the book. The application includes social-media information gathering and aggregation activities and incorporates the use of many App Engine services and APIs, as well as GWT design patterns and widget examples.
