Google Web Toolkit jumps out of beta
Google's previously developed in house Web Toolkit, has been taken out of beta mode and released into the wild for JAVA developers to pounce on and enjoy. The new release is GWT 1.4, and if you aren't that familiar with what it is capable of, you can take a look at the GWT sample Mail application or KitchenSink application. The toolkit is an open source project that was developed by Google as a way to share the tools that they have created to build applications in house. It's aimed at Java developers to easily utilize the powers of AJAX in a cross platform and web friendly environment. No more countless hours of coding and debugging in the Java programming language, GWT speeds things up by helping to compile the code with you and guiding you along the way. At the end of it all, developers should walk away with clean, understandable code that any professional software engineering should be proud of.
If any DLS readers have created something using the Google Web Toolkit, please post a link in the comments, we would love to check it out.

So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.

It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...

So in other words this is Google's attempt @ getting EVERYONE using their apps and api's to gain a larger foot hold on the market? Now when their Goog-A-Phone is launched they have all these custom apps already designed and ready to go.
Google is plotting to take over the world! But thats just my 2 cents!

How does this compare to other Ajax toolkits out there? Or, for that matter, JSF? I felt JSF was too abstracted and burdensome compared to other approaches, so maybe GWT is a better approach...
