demonstrates how it can allow components to communicate in larger applications.
Chapter 8, Portal and Drag-and-Drop, covers the portal and drag-and-drop features of GXT.
It starts by showing how to turn out existing components into portlets and then moves on to
practically make use of GXT's drag-and-drop features to move data between them.
Chapter 9, Charts, covers GXT's charting plugin. It explores the wide range of charts available,
shows how to avoid the pitfalls of the plugin, and demonstrates how charts can be used with
existing data.
Chapter 10, Putting it all together, shows how to publish the example application to the
world using the Google App Engine. It then moves on to look at how to take development
with GXT further and other resources that can be turned to after this book.
