I’m studying Computer Science in Germany and recently stumbled upon Web Services and Google Web Toolkit.
I thought: “Great, define buttons, input fields, panels, … just hit compile and it works”
Then i thought: “Why hit compile? …”
Question: Is there a technology where I can define buttons, panel, input fields, … on the fly? Like GWT but without the compile process. Running the whole business logic on the server (over AJAX or something) and the browser just be the input/output interface.
Hopefully made my question clear.
Best regards,
Andre
Yes: Run GWT in development mode (it will still compile to bytecode – but that’s very quick compared to compiling/translating to JavaScript). I don’t think it’s a big problem to hit compile once in a while to get the real javascript code, is it?
