Vaadin - Rich web applications in plain Java without plugins or JavaScript

This presentation shows how easily you can create desktop-like web applications in plain Java without any HTML, XML, plugins or JavaScript. You will learn how to avoid the most typical problems in web application development by using a desktop-like programming model on server. Apache-licensed Vaadin framework is used to leverage Server-Driven RIA (SDR) architecture that allows you to focus on application logic and forget cross-browser issues.

Server-Driven RIA architecture is introduced. A comparison between traditional web application architecture, client-side RIA architecture and SDR is done.
A brief introduction to Apache-licensed Vaadin framework is given. The toolkit is compared to Google Web Toolkit and the integration between the products is explained.
A desktop-like web application is created from scratch to give a hands-on experience on SDR.

@RahmanSuhkur Vaadin is meant to be produce front end result by writting java code... java script is not the same as java at all =))

Does this system somehow allow writing the code directly in JavaScript with no need to write Java first? (because I find JavaScript a lot easier than Java)
