With Innovative App Developing Tools in the Web Toolkit, Google is about to Change the Scenario for Developers
There is no stop to the tempo of Google technology. Search giant Google is always on the forefront with a slew of new releases for the benefit of its world-wide users. The latest news that has brought Google alive as the focus of discussion among the techies is the addition of innovative app-development friendly tools to Google Web Toolkit, a “development toolkit for building and optimizing complex browser-based applications”. The fundamental objective of this move by Google is to help developers develop high-performance web applications without being much of an expert in browser quirks, JavaScript and XMLHttpRequest. It is open source and free to download. 
Speed Tracer
One of the innovative Google Chrome extensions, Speed Tracer is a highly functional tool to help you pinpoint and fix performance problems in web applications. It not only simplifies a developer’s task but also traces performance over a period of time. To say more precisely, Speed Tracer is meant to facilitate the AJAX based applications as well. It visualizes and analyzes metrics from low level instrumentation points.
Using the tool, you can identify problems associated with JavaScript parsing & execution, layout, DOM event handling, timer fires, network resource loading, XMLHttpRequest callbacks, CSS style recalculation and painting. You can also locate the time-consuming functional aspects of your application by means of this tool from Google Web Toolkit. Available as a Chrome extension, it is compatible with all operating system platforms.
Split code Tool
Split code tool is a unique and exciting tool from Google Web Toolkit. It is meant to guide developers regarding code splitting. The JavaScript based applications were heavy and slow in loading. Google has developed the split code tool to help you deal with this problematic issue by splitting code into segments that users need. It implies that the browser will download a specific segment of the application with the use of Google Wave.
Split code tool is a distinct and distinguished approach of Google to the process of splitting the code. GWT allows developers to choose from the app-based functions and make them accessible to users. With this tool, you can identify the code that corresponds to the functions.
GWT SDK
It is a tiresome and tedious to write web application for multiple browsers. Working around browser quirks takes most of your time. Moreover, building, maintaining and reusing large JavaScript code bases as well as AJAX components is a delicate and difficult job. GWT SDK eases the process of building and maintaining complex yet high-performance JavaScript front-end applications using Java as a programming language. Using SDK you can write AJAX front-end applications in the Java programming language and then compiles them into the optimized JavaScript that can run across all leading browsers.
Google Web Toolkit comes with the Google Plugin for Eclipse. It helps you develop Google Web Toolkit and App Engine applications in the fastest way. With these application development friendly tools in the web toolkit, Google is set to bring about a revolution in the world of developers.
