Chapter 8. Next Steps
Congratulations! You’ve finished reading the book. By this point you can build GWT applications that run on iOS, Android, and webOS devices. But this is only the beginning. PhoneGap and GWT are both rich ecosystems full of 3rd party libraries. They are also both under active development and will gain new features over time. Here are a few libraries and tools you might want to investigate:

The developer guide covers everything you need to know, including how to inline binary resources to speed up download ...
