Bram Smeets Blog

Although I haven’t blogged on this blog for a very long time now, I’m officially moving to the new JTeam blog.
So from now on, al my new posts will be on that blog.

Of course I’m keeping this blog up for reference (for those of you that actually still link to it ;-).

Yesterday, my second book Beginning Google Web Toolkit: From Novice To Professional was officially released!

Me and my co-authors Uri Boness and Roald Bankras spend this last year writing this book. The book is targeted at Java developers that want to start using Google Web Toolkit (GWT) to build more intuitive web-based applications. I personally feel that the book provides a good introduction and shows you how to quickly get started using GWT.
Obviously I’m looking forward to your opinions and reviews!!

As already mentioned in the book, we would like to thank all our collegues at JTeam for their support. And specifically Tom van Zummeren en Jelmer Kuperus for submitting valuable content for chapter 8. Last, we would also like to thank everyone at Apress who helped this book to see the light.

Finally, after a delay of about one and a half year, the book I co-authored was released last Friday!

This book, originally initiated by Steven Devijver and originally titled ‘Beginning Spring 2: From Novice to Professional’, has been renamed to ‘Building Spring 2 Enterprise Applications’. It is targeted at people that are relatively new to J2EE / Java EE and want to learn how to use Spring to build robust enterprise applications.

I am very much looking forward to your reviews. Personally I really like chapter 4 which goes into the details of Spring AOP and AspectJ support in Spring 2.0. I hope you have fun reading it!
