Buying this book

[buzo]

Hi there:

I've heard really good things about this book, but all comments seem
to be a year old (or older). I know that GWT has undergone some
significant changes with version 1.6, so is the information in the
book still relevant?

Does it make sense for me to make this investment or will I be reading
material that no longer makes sense?

I'd really appreciate if someone could point out which parts of the
book are still current.

All feedback is welcomed.

Thanks in advanced.

Google Web Toolkit Applications is still the best GWT book on the
market and an excellent introduction to complex apps development, not
only Hello World.

The info is still relevant. While the examples may contain usage of
deprecated code, it's easy to figure out how to update it. For one,
some examples have been updated to use either 1.5 or 1.6 of GWT.

Most of the deprecation usage comes from the change from
EventListeners to EventHandlers. Also, some places where you used to
add "annotations" in the javadocs have been replaced with real Java
Annotations.

The book is pretty good aside from going over how you would unit test
your apps.
