Therefore, knowing the technologies and features which enable us a fast and effective development of good user interfaces is crucial. The goal of this assignment is to analyze and compare some of the technologies used in web application development and to develop a simple web application. In the theoretical part of the assignment JavaServer Faces, Apache Struts, GWT and jQuery had to be examined. After the theoretical work it was necessary to focus on one of these technologies and build a simple web application. Therefore, a web game based on GWT technology named ‘Potapljanje ladjic’ was built. This was to compare and determine the advantages and disadvantages of each technology.
