Introduction to Vaadin 7

The presentation will include a brief introduction into Vaadin Framework 7, the first new major version of the popular rich web framework in over three years of iterative evolution. The intro will explain the main design decisions will give practical examples for starting with Vaadin.

Vaadin is a web application framework for Rich Internet Applications (RIA). In contrast to Javascript libraries and browser-plugin based solutions, it features a robust server-side architecture. This means that the largest part of the application logic runs securely on the server. The fine-grained component architecture together with statically typed Java language and data binding features help you build applications that are easily modularized and refactored as needed.
