Beginning Google Web Toolkit: From Novice to Professional

Chapter 8. Advanced Topics

But there's more to building a real-world RIA than what we've covered so far—issues such as performance, localization, and browser history support need to be considered. Moreover, no framework can be considered complete if it doesn't provide a flexible and nonrestrictive extension mechanism.
