I’m a couple days late to the party but the of GWT was released on Friday.  Check out Bruce Johnson’s on the various bugs that were fixed in this release.

Ed Burnette has written a book titled “Google Web Toolkit – Taking the pain out of Ajax” which is published by the Pragmatic Programmers.  It is part of their Pragmatic Fridays series which are low cost, pdf only books.

This Friday provides you with a thorough introduction to the Google Web Toolkit. From installation, through your first application, to UI components and Remote Procedure calls, you’ll learn the ins and outs of the framework. Some knowledge of Java programming and HTML is assumed, but you don’t have to be an expert in web programming.

Ed runs the gwtPowered site which contains tons of resources on GWT.   He’s also a well known member of the Eclipse community.  The book is only $8.50, so check it out.

Gunnar Wagenknecht has released another GWT Eclipse plugin. Gunnar had previously made some patches to the Googlipse project but has now decided to start his own. He has a nice screencast that shows the plugin in action. Source code is available.
