Although Kongregate won, KDice was nominated for the Best Time Sink category at The Crunchies. TechCrunch, a very big blog reporting on technology start up news, put on the event in a style similar to award shows you’d see on TV. Award winners included Digg, Facebook, and Tesla Motors - pretty amazing companies. Here’s a screenshot from the Time Sink category which KDice was nomiated in:
Google Web Toolkit Applications has been out for around for one month and a couple reviews have come in. Joseph Ottinger from The Server Side says in his review:
Google Web Toolkit Applications is an excellent book, well worth the list price of $49.99 (USD) if you’re doing any serious GWT development. It’s well written, very much in depth, and shows application patterns that will be very useful for anyone using GWT, in many cases showing concepts that are very difficult to find elsewhere.
The second review is by Chris from GWT Site:
Google Web Toolkit Applications is an excellent book. It is easy to read and does a really good job covering all the major GWT topics and more. The applications demonstrate software development best practices and cover a variety of interesting techniques.
