I’ve written a little web app to find the next four trains running between two stations on the Chicago Metra comuter train line. I also loaded CalTrain, a little Blackberry application, with the lines I and a friend usually take (the application can’t handle a large set of data for some reason).

Finally, a technical book again!
I liked this one – I wanted to build a simple interactive site for finding the next Chicago comuter trains based on time of day and line, so I converted their rail info to XML (no small feat) but then needed that interactive site. GWT to the rescue.
This book allowed me to go from nothing to a working site in about four days, including figuring out how to use a plugin called Cypal Studio for GWT to make things easier.
If you want to learn to use GWT this book is a good choice I think.
