One unique feature of Vaadin Framework is the way it automatically manages communication between the user's browser and your server. The biggest benefit of this is not directly related to communication, but rather that you can use a very productive programming model. Programming model Without the ...

Greetings from the Vaadin Framework team. While there hasn’t been too many updates aside from release announcements, I think every now and then it is good to let everyone know where we are and what we are doing. In Vaadin 7.4 we introduced the declarative format and released one of the most ...

The Vaadin Spring and Vaadin Spring Boot add-ons have now entered the beta phase. There have been lots of questions about the best way of using Spring and Vaadin together. You in the community have made a couple of really nice integrations, but there haven't been any officially supported ways of ...

Last week we released one of the most important components in the 7.4 version of the framework - the Grid.

Although it feels like it happened a very long time ago, it turns out to be less than one year since Vaadin 7.0 was released. Roughly halfway through ...

Earlier this year, our vision was to get you a beta release of Vaadin 7.2 by the end of this year.

This has postponed the plans for some of the smaller changes that we wish ...
