Pros: Helpful examples, Easy to understand, Accurate

Cons: None

Best Uses: Novice, Intermediate, Student

Describe Yourself: Developer

Would love a more comprehensive approach - including examples of data validation, use of GWT Designer, binding to Data Grids and more in depth examples of queries (using multiple parameters).
