    Conceptually Insightful, But Watch the Examples
  

*by L***S on Reviewed in the United States on July 11, 2009*

As others have stated, the use of patterns in this book is both sophisticated and clarifying.  And I would second the recommendation made by another reviewer for Head First Design Patterns as a compatible and synergistic companion to this book.The original "classic" text on GWT was GWT in Action.  When that book was published, GWT was new enough that the authors had to concentrate fairly heavily on introducing its unique features.  This new book "gets over" that sense of newness and instead focuses on how general software design approaches (e.g., patterns) can be implemented using the tools made available by GWT.  This subtle change of focus represents a maturation of GWT software development practice that parallels the growing maturation of the GWT community, and of the technology itself.A terrific "extra" that accompanies the printed book is the ability to download a searchable PDF of the entire book online using instructions provided in an insert.  Once I had that, I hardly needed the printed book at all.One caveat: at least one example that I encountered (for the UserEdit class of chapter 4) had some typos (UserEdit made reference to a variable called address that was actually from a prior example, AddressEdit), and when I searched online for downloadable code, I found that this example had been significantly re-written (eliminating the problem in the process, amd also generally improving the example code's clarity).So, if you purchase this excellent book, be sure to download the sample code right away and then check it against the examples that are printed in the book as you go along.  [...]It would have been nice if the authors had published errata on that same page, since apparently (from the downloadable examples) they encountered and corrected some problems, and in fact I have just noticed that there is an online forum for the book on the publisher's Web site [...] that mentions the problems with chapter 4 in multiple posts going back quite a long time, but I could not find any comprehensive listing of such errors by the authors themselves.Despite such annoyances, the book deserves five stars because of its otherwise exceptional insights and presentation.

    Excellent Book, But Difficult
  

*by R***Y on Reviewed in the United States on May 27, 2009*

This is an excellent book for learning GWT, but it does assume some background knowledge in other topics, so it is not the simplest book.I personally found that this book mentions and uses many design patterns, but if you have never studied design patterns (as a fair amount of computer scientists have not), then this book could be pretty difficult to follow.However, if you do understand design patterns, then you will know what the author is talking about and realize that all of the sample programs and apps that are designed are truly designed well.  The author shows how to use and combine great coding techniques and patterns to develop a strong application that is flexible and extensible.Because of some of these assumptions, the textbook can be confusing, but if you do have the knowledge that is assumed, then this is an EXCELLENT textbook.(For design patterns, I recommend the book Head First Design Patterns - it is an excellent book that covers the major design patterns and is quite enjoyable to read.  You will learn all the patterns needed in that book to be able to follow GWT In Practice).If you are looking to just make some simple apps in GWT but are not aiming for flexible, commercial level software, then you might want to look elsewhere for other textbooks.  GWT In Action is much easier to follow, although it is a little dated now.  However, it covers the basics of GWT which (at the time of this review) have not changed.

    Useless book -- Good if you want to know how NOT to use GWT
  

*by T***M on Reviewed in the United States on August 21, 2010*

The samples used in this are so outdated that they are utterly useless.  You would have to modify them to get them to work with the new GWT, which wouldn't be bad but they are a far departure from the new GWT.  GWT has changed so much since this was printed that you would have to unlearn much of this.  Many of the samples use deprecated methods.  The whole structure of how a project is put together has changed.  This references executables within the toolkit that are simply not used any more and not included.  You would think that the author would at least have the courtesy to update the samples on the website, but there are no updates there.  I wasted my money on this book.  I would suggest using the online resources offered by Google.  They are much more useful and will get you moving much faster.  The PDF version of the book that is included with the book is a great idea, but this information is too outdated to be of any real value.
