I don’t think Nazmul Idris of developerlife ever sleeps as he has just posted four spanking new GWT tutorials up on the site:
Developerlife is a great GWT resource with many other well-written GWT tutorials. There are also several more tutorials in the pipeline, so make sure to bookmark their site and check back periodically. You may also want to check out the GWT Site Resources page for links to other useful tutorials.

First of all, I want to thank everyone who participated in the Win a Free Copy of GWT Designer contest. Congratulations to the winner Mark Chance who I hope will enjoy his free 1 year subscription of GWT Designer. Also, thanks to Instantiations for providing me with the copy of GWT Designer to give away. Remember to to make sure you don’t miss out on future giveaways.
We had almost fifty entries to the contest and it was quite interesting to see what the favorite GWT libraries were. I know it was an informal and unscientific poll, but based on the comments I read, I’ve come up with a list of the top five most popular GWT 3rd-party libraries:
5. Hibernate4gwt
Bruno Marchesson
For any Hibernate users out there, Hibernate4gwt allows you to painlessly use your Hibernate POJOs with GWT.
Robert Cooper and Charlie Collins
The Gwittir project provides a lot of interesting modules for your GWT projects including data-binding, animation, introspection, and more.
3. GWT-SL
George Georgovassilis
As the name implies, the GWT Server Library is it is a server-side library for GWT that focuses on providing Spring Framework integration by allowing you to expose your Spring beans as RPC services. It also provides integration with the hibernate4gwt library.
Sanjiv Jivan
GWT-Ext is a really nice looking GWT widget library that is closely integrated with the Ext JS library. Take a look at the GWT-Ext Showcase Demo.
1. MyGWT
Darrell Meyer
MyGWT was the overwhelming favorite in the contest with almost half the vote. It is a pure GWT widget library which shares the Ext JS L&F to create a polished set of widgets for use in your GWT applications. Take a look at the MyGWT Explorer Demo.
