[PJUG Javamail] GWT with Facebook

[Howard Abrams]

I remember getting my toes stepped on when I was dancing with JavaScript, but thinking it was like Java. Since JavaScript is not going away, my suggestion is to actually learn the language sometime. While it has some bad parts, it is pretty cool.

Plus, the addition of jQuery and plug-ins like FuzzyToast and Backbone makes a dynamic web app written in JavaScript an option.

Good luck with your endevour.

I have bad dreams about days of long ago screwing with Javascript in jsp pages and mucking with endless tag libraries. I'd much rather work in Java unless I was insanely desperate to do something directly in Javascript.

I thought first I'd reach out to PJUGers though and see if anyone has already fought this battle and had any simple advice getting started. Any 3rd party libs, IntelliJ plugins, lessons learned, gotchas with FB, etc?
