Vaadin is a an open source Java framework that enables us to develop rich internet web applications. Vaadin uses the Google Web Toolkit (GWT) framework. The Vaadin framework includes code in Java running on the server side and a client side engine written in JavaScript that runs in the web browser. We can code the server side part using any of the available integrated development environments, such as Eclipse, Netbeams and IntelliJ. The JavaScript client side renders the user interface and maintains the continuous interaction with the server side. Unlike other technologies, such as Flash, Silverlight, JavaFX and Java Applets, there is no need in having the user installing a plug-in into his web browser. The Java code running on the server runs as a persistent Java Servlet. We can easily bind this servlet with the traditional data and logic tiers. Underneath, in order to render the user interface in the user browser, the Vaadin framework uses the Google Web Toolkit (GWT). The development process is very similar to developing a stand alone application. There is no need to know neight HTML nor Java Script.

This course teaches how to develop Vaadin based web applications. It covers the basic topics required to jump start with Vaadin and develop web application in a professional way. Developing web applications using Vaadin is so simple that you will find your self developing moving forward in no time. The following video clip shows how simple it is to handle user interface events and how similar it is to the delegation model we know from developing Java applications in Swing.
