Pierre Mage :

A great news for GWT users: Google just announced a release candidate of Google Maps API for GWT. It is a nice API that not only gives access to Google Maps API from GWT but also allows to add GWT widgets to Map! But that is not all. This library is just part of Google API Libraries for GWT which is not limited to Google Maps. It also gives access to Gears (I use this part in the project I am currently working for), Gadgets and Google AJAX Search API.
I join GWT teams to invite you to test and comment on this libraries.

It was really fun for me to be on stage with Dick Wall. He is really a great speaker. The room was full. I think that there was more than 1200 attendees. It shows that GWT is really a hot technology.

My presentation runs with the "Demo Effect" :  I got a bug in Powerpoint ;-) that disturbed me a lot :-(.

The MyForm Demo is available here : MyForm. You can test it if you add it in the Orkut Sandbox OpenSocial Container. Just sign for a account : http://sandbox.orkut.com

Here are the slides :

It's come to our attention that the GWT 1.4 release (1.4.60) shipped with a bug that can sometimes cause a compiled application to fail to load up in Internet Explorer. An error will be generated including the words "Operation Aborted". Most applications are unaffected, but affection applications may fail either intermittently or constantly. The problem seems to be a timing issue related to how long it takes the page to render.

Past 2 weeks I needed to investigate the best framework to port the front-end of a Java/Swing framework to a rich web UI environment.
The contenders:

• Adobe Flex2
• GWT (Google Web Toolkit)
• NextApp Echo2

Flex vs GWT vs Echo2

This article describes how to do the following:

    * Create a 'login' page that is based on user/password authentication.
    * Store this data in a secure fashion on your server.
    * Allow users to 'remain logged in' for as long as you want so they don't have to enter their user name and password every time.
    * Make 'auto-complete' features of most modern browsers work with your GWT's login page.
    * Discussion on adding more security with either HTTPS or fancy hashing algorithm.
