Jeff Dwyer has published a new book, Web 2.0
Application Development with
GWT.
Google Web Toolkit is a development framework which lets you write web applications in Java and have it automagically converted to AJAX/JavaScript/HTML and deployed to all kinds of devices for you. Jeff did a demo of GWT at the September 2006 DLSLUG Meeting.
Jeff is a really smart dude, which he proved to me when he worked as an intern under me at PreviousJob™ where we did some work playing with Catmull-Rom splines for fitting endovascular grafts into abdominal aortic aneurysms. I was able to say, “hey, this looks like a good use for Catmull-Rom splines,” and Jeff could go off and learn all the math and implement it. Good intern! So, Jeff was an easy hire once he was graduated. Any book he’s written is bound to be fantastic.
He’s now the CEO of MyHippocampus.com, which I barely understand. 🙂
Congrats, Jeff!
