What is the best way to learn GWT ?

[LoneWolf]

Hi.
I'm a new comer to GWT and I really want to learn it.
But I don't know how to start the learning curve.
I checked the on line tutorials and articles (OnJava, Java.net) but
you can't rely on them to learn about GWT.
GWT's samples are great but I don't have alot of time to spend on
digging here and there.
What do you suggest ?

On the left of the Google Web Toolkit web site:
http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/ there are two links: "Getting
Started Guide" and "Developer Guide" .

It will depend of your needs,

Let's check there what you would use (fun stuffs) :
http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/documentation/com.google.gwt.doc.DeveloperGuide.UserInterface.WidgetGallery.html

Then, try to find the different widget's options the google lexical :
http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/documentation/com.google.gwt.user.client.ui.html

First, I would tell you to begin by little widgets :

/****
Button myButton = new Button();
***/

And try to add options on it :

/*****
myButton.setText("toto");
****/

Then, try to add your listeners :
/***
myButton.addClickListener(new ClickListener() {
.....
});
/****

And show what happen when you click your button

When you've done all this, try to use the widget which interest
you.... and to look at the different widget reference...
Hope that 'll help you ;)
