Getting Started On The Google Web Tool Kit - Mobil


The guys over at the Google Web Tool Kit Blog have an interesting post on the new Mobil version of the Google Web Tool Kit, the latest version has been optimized to work on the iPhone platform.

If your interested creating web applications, creating them for Google and iPhone users is about the best place in the universe to start. Not only are we talking about three cutting edge tech companies (Google, Apple and AT&T), iPhone owners GWT Application Development for the iPhone discusses where to start:

So what kind of application should we build? The application should:

  • demonstrate a well-defined purpose that is useful to developers using GWT
  • take advantage of the always-connected iPhone platform
  • present a UI that is familiar to iPhone users and geared towards information presentation
  • demonstrate integration between GWT and other Google technology

And so the GWT Feed Reader was created. It combines the Google AJAX Feed API with a user interface geared for use on the iPhone. The source code to GWT Feed Reader is available under an Open Source license from a Google Code project.

For more ideas on where to get started, might I suggest:
