Book review: Google Web Toolkit Solutions

Ajax is everywhere these days, and although Ajax can simplify and improve user experience, the experience of Ajax developers is often far from simple and could stand improvement. Perhaps the biggest headache Ajax developers face is the painful world of cross-browser problems. Browser quirks add untold hours of aggravation to even the best planned Ajax projects. Something that works perfectly well in Firefox doesn't work properly in Internet Explorer, for example. Wouldn't it be great if there were a way to concentrate on designing a great application and not have to worry about getting it to work properly in multiple browsers? That's the goal of Google Web Toolkit.
