Imagine you are a contestant on a TV game show and your grinning quiz master pops the question: "Name the one thing you most associate with Google?" Think about your answer - write it on a card (don't show me yet). Turning your card over, it's likely to be one of the following:

  1. Great Internet search engine on google.com
  2. Wicked share price, wish I'd bought some a few years ago
  3. Powerhouse of innovation for Java
The first two are fairly obvious. The last one might not have been your first choice, but looking more closely it possibly should be.

Especially GWT is one of the brilliant ideas of Google. I like their "make programming easy" aim! They changed computer science obviously. Thanks for article.
