EXT-GWT is a framework to develop web that called "Rich Application". Many applications was developed under web based now because centralized and high flexibility. Because of rapid development in web based technology many IT engineers was think to convert desktop application into web application with look and feel like Desktop UI. With AJAX (Asynchronous Javascript and XML), web application can request and response with minimal time processing.
