Well, you are biting off a very large chunk at once. We just finished our first GWT application, and we are pretty seasoned Java developers. The app is pretty simple, and it still took us about 2 months to figure out how we wanted to standardize our approach. I suppose since you'll be doing this yourself, you won't have much discussion on building a platform for your company. But still, just understanding the concepts new to GWT is quite a challenge. In our case, we are persisting data to a relation DB, so we had to figure out how to retrieve that, transform it into something GWT could use, serialize to browser, etc. All standard GWT stuff, but quite a learning curve. Since you've never written programs in C++ either, I'd say you should probably give yourself 6 months for your first Java/GWT app. -- Guy Rouillier --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Web Toolkit" group.
