Test-First GWT article in November 2008 Better Software Magazine

Part two of my series on Google Web Toolkit, "Google Web Toolkit: Writing Ajax Applications Test First" (download article), is now in print in the November 2008 issue of Better Software magazine.  This article is a tutorial on applying Test Driven Development practices to build GWT applications.  It introduces GWT's testing support including GWTTestCase, describes the Model-View-Presenter design pattern, and includes test and production code samples.

Thanks again to my reviewers for their suggestions and feedback: Steve Berczuk, Paul Infield-Harm, Mushfeq Khan, Joe Leo, Michelle Osborne and Ariel Valentin.  Big thanks to Sumit Chandel of the GWT team for his technical feedback and editing and to Steve Freeman for his help with the JMock example.  Thanks to Lee Copeland, Chuck Allison, Heather Shanholtzer and the team at Better Software Magazine for the opportunity and excellent technical editing.

See the Sticky Notes online for infrastructure tips, GWTTestCase gotchas, and additional reference materials.

Part one of the series was published in the October 2008 issue.
