LinuxBlast.com - Pete's Wicked Web Space

LinuxBlast.com - Pete's Wicked Web Space

Aaaa... the beauty of Web 2.0... or Ajax if you prefer.
I took the GWT (Google Web Toolkit v 1.1) and whipped out the interface for the LinuxBlast Network in a matter of hours (still buggy, but it shows off the main features). While using pure JavaScript can be painful, mostly due to the lack of good debugging tools, using GWT and Eclipse is a pure joy. Mix it up with some good Content management tools, and you can deliver nice Web solutions fast... just add Ruby on Rails and you have it all. Feel the next bubble coming (2.0???).
