GWT for beginners - Introduction.

-
Hi Everyone, from this post onwards I am planning to write about GWT (Google Web Toolkit) as it is currently used for many web development projects. GWT is an open source set of tools that allow web developers to create and maintain complex JavaScript front end applications in Java.

Following are some of the specifications and features of GWT :-

  • GWT is used to create RICH Internet Application (RIA).
  • GWT provides option to write client side application in JAVA.
  • GWT automatically generates javascript code suitable for each browser.
  • GWT provides full debugging capability. Developers can debug the client side application just as an Java Application.
  • GWT is licensed under apache license version 2.0.
  • GWT provides easy integration with JUnit and Maven.
  • GWT provides widget libraries.
  • GWT has simple RPC mechanism.
  • GWT has support for Internationalization and localization.
  • HTML canvas support.
  • GWT has support for using Google APIs.
  • A number of libraries are available for GWT, by Google and Third parties.
To start working with GWT, you have to download the plugin. Please visit the link - Download for downloading the GWT plugin. I have downloaded the GWT plugin in eclipse and after downloading the plugin, we can see a google icon in the eclipse toolbar. A screenshot of the google icon is shown below.


Using this plugin, we can create a web development project. In my upcoming posts, I will writing about some sample programs in GWT.

I hope everyone got a brief idea about GWT. Please see my upcoming posts to know more about GWT. Please comment below if you have any doubts/suggestions. All doubts will be responded soon.

Once again thank you for reading the post.

Difference between "diff" and "sdiff" commands in Unix

Hi everyone, in this blog post, I will be discussing about the difference between "diff" and "sdiff" commands in Unix. This is my first post about Unix. diff command diff command will compare two files and prints the difference between the 2 files. The format of diff command is diff file1 file2 . sdiff command sdiff command will compare two files side by side. The format of sdiff command is sdiff file1 file2. The contents of files are displayed side by side with a marker denoting the difference between each files. Some of the important markers used in sdiff are as follows: | - denotes the 2 files differ in the line completely. < - only the first file contains the line. > - only the second file contains the line. The better way to depict the difference is by showing examples. Here, I am comparing 2 files which are named as " ipl_teams_2008.txt " and " ipl_teams_2015.txt ". Let's see the contents of the files.

Anonymous classes in C++

Anonymous Classes in C++ Anonymous class is a class with no name. The main advantage of using an anonymous class is that it provides reusability of the class. Also anonymous class helps in encapsulation of data. Anonymous class is basically used when only one instance of the class is needed and it has only a short body. By defining an anonymous class, it does the same steps of defining a local class and instantiating it. The anonymous class is rightly used after it is defined. Following specifies an example of anonymous class in C++. class { int a; } c1; Here, c1 is an object of the anonymous class. Usually, anonymous classes in C++ are defined using "typedef" ( a keyword to assign alternative names to existing types). Typedef helps in giving another name to the class. It is shown as below: typedef class { int a; } newclass; newclass c2; Here newclass is the object of the anonymous class and c2 is its instance. Member variables can also be initialized in ano
