Creating dynamic web applications with the Google Web Toolkit
GOOGLE TOOLS

Google is more than just a search engine. This vast and rapidly expanding company is also a major center for software development. Besides programs such as Google Desktop and Google Earth, the company also releases other web-based products once a quarter.

These lesser known applications share the look and feel of their more popular counterparts, and they use AJAX for quick and easy client access.
