RSSGoogle Releases AJAX Framework Beta
By the Betanews Staff | Published May 17, 2006, 2:06 PM
Google on Wednesday released an open AJAX framework that will enable developers to build Web applications like Google Maps and Calendar. The Google Web Toolkit beta, available free of charge, is based on Java and works with any Java development tool.
GWT joins Google's growing repository of code, which includes a number of APIs and development kits. "When you deploy your application to production, the GWT compiler simply translates your Java application to browser-compliant JavaScript and HTML," explains product manager Bret Taylor. GWT can be downloaded from Google Code.
so now Google is a tool vendor? platform?? What the heck is google anyway? They are becoming super spread out and random. This is not going to end well for Google if they don't tighten their focus.

|Google is just an inovation company, whos focus is on web-based applications. The fact that they are "super spread out and random" just means that they have a lot of great minds thinking out of the box, in the box, and not even knowing that there IS a box. Its not going to "not end well" for them, because they don't just think of something, make it, and let it fade out. They keep the product going, working, and upgraded.

|Generally I'm somewhat opposed to the whole google hype, but I don't think this has anything to do with them spreading out.
They have an inhouse development framework which they can give back to the opensource community. They have no intention of having this as a product, they're just sharing what they're using. It's nothing random. It's something they're using to develop with anyway. so why not give back?
