Screaming Penguin - Source Does Matter

This post is jumping the gun a little bit, so consider it distant early warning, if you will. Cooper has been hard at work lately on a GWT Framework that is pretty damn amazing.

The idea was a framework to allow an MVC pattern to be easily applied to GWT widgets, and also enable introspection and two way binding very simply. From there you can build really cool - and smart - GWT components with ease.

What kind of components? Well the sample is almost ready, but stuff like data bound tables, animations and effects, validation, and an overall application "FlowController."

I am admittedly short on details because I am personally still trying to keep up with the guy (he has been on a tear lately), and because, well, this is still alpha time. Until the sample is more fully baked, if you are interested, you can check out a few of the docs and the source itself (which does have an example, though not entirely polished yet).

I just thought it was time gwittr got some press (not a release announcement, yet, but some mention - when it's ready it will hit the GWT mailing list).

And gwittir makes use of the small but convenient Freeze Dry project that is also worth honorable mention.

And all of our GWT endeavors use Maven of course.
