Introduction

The main topic of the book is the Google Web Toolkit (GWT). However, GWT SDK alone is not enough to develop complete information systems. Some other tools and techniques have to be combined together to work with GWT. In this chapter, we will be introduced to some technologies and tools, get an overview of each, and set up all the required tools, technologies, and libraries. Here, JDK and GWT SDK are compulsory; the other tools have alternatives — we will cover these in this book.
