Get introduced to the Vaadin framework by one of its core developers. The Vaadin framework provides a desktop-like programming model on the server for creating Rich Internet Applications (RIAs) in plain Java - without the need for HTML, XML, plug-ins or JavaScript.

In this talk, Joonas lays out the key concepts of the server-side RIA development model and compares it to client-side RIA. To demonstrate the use of framework, an example application is developed during the session step-by-step. The presentation is concluded with pointers on how to start developing your own applications with Apache-licensed Vaadin-framework.

You'll learn:

• How to create a desktop like web application in Java
• Difference between page oriented, client-side RIA and server-side RIA architectures
• How Vaadin can be extended with Google Web Toolkit

The talk is held in English. TechTalk’s target group includes all software developers and architects.

The talk from Joonas got the “Best Presentation Award” at Java Forum Stuttgart in July 2011 and will be organized in cooperation with Java User Group Darmstadt.
