Is there a GWT book covering version >= 2.1.1?

[tom]

Hello,

Does anybody know if there's a book (about to be published?) that covers the new features since 2.1.1 (RequestFactory, Editor framework, ...)?

I'm working with GWT (v2.3) for a couple of weeks now, and I'm still getting stuck for hours on simple problems day by day. I think it's mainly because of a lack of thorough documentation/explanation of the mechanisms the framework is built upon. The Getting started guides on the project page were helpful to get some code together at first, but it turned out a lot of things aren't just working as simple.

I have no doubt that the framework's great and that you can build great apps with it, but learning how to use it is so frustrating at times...

Regards

There does seem to be a lack of valuable GWT books covering some of
the newer aspects of the language. Have you gone through all the
tutorials on the main site? I found the large scale application
development and MVP pattern w/ UIBinder tutorial extremely valuable
when learning the framework:

Have you checked the Manning's GWT in Action Second Edition book? They
have it on MEAP program. This book is awesome. They cover the latest
2.3 version with extensive coverage on UIBinder, RPC, MVP, Activities
and Places, RequestBuilder. They are in fact going to add chapter on
RequestFactory also.

This book is a must buy.
