A Java geek

Understand the limitations of the thin-client using the vaadin approach for the development of RIA’s is enough reason for being attracted for read this book, besides to the information that this book provides regarding Spring, CDI, Hibernate, JBoss Portal (hoping generic portlet as well), Cloud Foundry. Definitely a nice complement to the book of vaadin[1] and/or the demos[2] as a start point for this great framework.

The most interesting thing for me would be the descripton of how to integrate Vaadin on top of Spring, CDI, and Hibernate. Most resources for that problems on the web so far are not very complete and a web Framework that integrates well with a DI approach is exactly what I am searching for.

I would recommend this book to anyone else because I belive Vaadin is really worth a try and the book looks really promising to give a compact overview.

Spring integration is what is the most important for me right now. I would recommend this book to my coworkers who are not yet convinced by the framework.

I’m working for 3 month with vaadin and I really enjoy it. Using the debugger is so neat I can’t imagine how I was working before..

I’m a passionated java web framework developer.
I’m evaluating frameworks since 4 years, I tried a lot, but I’m still a fan of the Vaadin framework!
The concept of eventbus is very interesting, and ideas realizing the mvp pattern is something for the future!

At the moment I see no purpose to switch to another framework

At our company, we are mainly developing in Swing. For a new project, we are in the process of evaluating and selecting a web framework. Vaadin looks like a perfect match with our Swing background.

Vaadin is a friend with students !

Java is my favorite programming language. (Linux), Java, Netbeans, Swing (and PostgreSQL) is the perfect ecosystem for desktop app development.
Early in 2010 we needed to build a enterprise wep app and the question was:
“What framework should we use?”
Some of the requisites was:
* We should care of business logic and not with browsers UI tricks;
* Avoid programing in Javascript and keep productive on Netbeans IDE;
* Well supported and document Framework;
* Preferable we keep us in “java exclusive mode”;

Then we evalute GWT and his derivatives: SmartGWT, Ext-GWT and Vaadin.
Our choice was Vaadin and now we can say: Long life to Vaadin, we need it!

I just started learning about vaadin. In few last months I was in finding the right way for remakeing my applications. I think i found it. Vaadin keep my productivity even in learning process.

I’d just love to use Vaadin in my next project; compared to the usual GWT I do. Having to integrate with several customer frameworks, I would love to see what this book can teach me about framework integration. Looking at the sample chapter, it’s quite noteworthy, and I’d love to see more!

i love vaadin

What interests me the most about this book? Well. As i didnt have read it yet the only thing that interests me about it is the framework itself. I looked at the showcase, well, and it looks nice. Neither i cant recommend it to my Friends because i dont know the book as well as the Vaadin framework. Give this book to me, after reading it i will develop a small test app in Vaadin (if this book teaches me it) and than i can recommend the framework and the book !

I met the vaadin guys last week at devoxx in Antwerp. I was already convinced that vaadin is the frontend framework for me to use, and they really inspired me into using it. I got a copy of the book of vaadin of them, but “word on the street” is that the “learning vaadin” book is better. Also the guys of vaadin where positive about the book!!

I really like vaadin and their community, and I hope that I will be part of it in the very near future.

As a university student, I’m currently preparing for my final year project and really hope to use a UI framework as they’re very well suited to the project idea I have. I looked into Smart GWT and Vaadin, and was very quickly drawn to Vaadin because of the difference in documentation between the two products. What I was able to do in 1 hour with Vaadin was more than I was able to do in 5 hours with Smart GWT. I’ve since been trying to learn more with Vaadin, and having a book to really guide me through the process would be invaluable!

If it proved to be useful, which I’m sure it would be, I know a lot of my university colleagues would be interested in the book. We’re always looking for new ways to improve our projects, it makes up the biggest part of our degree! Being able to really understand a product like Vaadin would be such a huge benefit. It also looks like the type of book that could end up in the “recommended reading” section of my User Interface module.

I love vaadin, spring and I love your blog !

@nicolas_frankel gives you a free “Learning Vaadin” book, check his blog http://goo.gl/ebTYk and twitt

After years I spent on exploring the RIA world using JSF with Richfaces, jquery, then flex and vanilla GWT, ‘Learning Vaadin’ seems to be a next logical and very promising path to go.

I have read a lot about the framework, I haven’t had a chance to give it a try though. I would be especially interested in getting to know how it integrates with the Java EE 6 ecosystem. Also, learning the Vaadin’s point of view on the web application structure and the key concepts it is based on would be of great interest to me.

“Vaadin promises to make your user interfaces attractive and usable while easing your development efforts and boosting your productivity.” => is it true or again a promise by a java framework among others ?

I hear about Vaadin by Nicolas and colleagues for quite a while so I decided to look Vaadin a few days ago. I looked several demo app and it makes me want to see more.

Nicolas always provide good advices at work and i’m sure he wrote this book to learn Vaadin features in a best way.

This book will be my companion to discover this framework (if i win) and then i will be your ally to push Vaadin at work

So, who is the winner?

I creating a web application for this i have choose struts 2 but after analyze i found that Vaadin is to much better to create a web application cause vaadin give us facility to create fantastic layout with good look and feel easily in comparison to struts 2
