Subject: It's done: The first book on GWT
I'm pleased to announce that the first book on the Google Web Toolkit
is now available:

   "Google Web Toolkit - Taking the pain out of Ajax"
   http://www.pragmaticprogrammer.com/titles/ebgwt/

Thanks to the GWT developers and all the readers of this group who
helped out, especially my reviewers Mat Gessel, Ryan Lowe, and Stefan
Beskow, my editor Susannah Pfalzer, and the Pragmatic Programmers Dave
Thomas and Andy Hunt.

I've done a couple of printed books before, but I really like this
e-book format. Readers get the material faster, and updates within the
same edition are free. The PDF is not DRM'd but your name will appear
at the bottom of each page. It uses a landscape format that's easier to
read on the screen, but you can also print it out if you prefer.

>From the introduction:

Google Web Toolkit unifies client and server code into a single
application written in one language: Java. GWT lets you create a web
application in much the same way as you would create a Swing
application---creating visual components, setting up event handlers,
debugging, and so forth---all within a familiar IDE.

This PDF-only book provides you with a thorough introduction to the
Google Web Toolkit. From installation, through your first application,
to UI components and Remote Procedure calls, you'll learn the ins and
outs of the framework. Some knowledge of Java programming and HTML is
assumed, but you don't have to be an expert in web programming.

Yes it covers 1.1. I just purchased it and feel it was well worth the
8.95...

Yes,  version P0 of the book was created with GWT 1.1.0. So, for
example, it mentions FormPanel and injecting css.

Also, the way the Pragmatic Programmers' PDF system works, you'll be
able to download the latest version for free for the lifetime of the
edition of the book. See the FAQ at
http://pragmaticprogrammer.com/starter_kit/faqs/pdf_update_faq.html .

Have you ever [co-] written a book?
Even at $8.95 the author will probably never recover the time and  
effort put into creating the document.
However, at less than $10 the book is certainly a great deal, and  
it'll only set you back the cost of a few [cups of coffee | pints of  
beer].

FYI, Ben Galbraith at Ajaxian has posted a short article on the book,
including a free excerpt covering Remote Procedure Calls.
