  • Top 10 Java Frameworks Every Dev Need to Know
    2 projects | dev.to | 4 Dec 2024
    Overview: Vaadin is a Java framework that focuses on building modern, single-page web applications (SPAs) with a rich user interface. It allows developers to write frontend logic in Java, which is unusual compared to other JavaScript-based SPA frameworks.
  • Vaadin, the battery-included server-side AJAX framework
    4 projects | dev.to | 17 Oct 2024
    I've written a lot about Vaadin. I was so enthusiastic that I wrote the first book about it (besides the Book of Vaadin), its updated edition for Vaadin 7, and a companion website. Still, I'm amazed that so many people in the JVM world never heard of it.
  • A short history of AJAX and SSR
    4 projects | dev.to | 12 Sep 2024
    We must recognize the benefits that client-side rendering offers, but perhaps the pendulum has swung too far. Is it possible to have the best of both worlds? In some corners of the industry, cooler heads have prevailed, and the term SSR has been coined to describe a return to what we've been doing for ages—albeit with some modern enhancements. The idea is to leverage AJAX, JavaScript, and browser improvements without the unnecessary bloat. While many tools are available, I frequently hear about Vue. js and HTMX. A recent search also led me to Alpine.js. And I've long been a proponent of Vaadin.
  • The Adventures of Blink #24: Javascript? Ain't Nobody Got Time Fo Dat
    2 projects | dev.to | 23 May 2024
    When I first encountered Vaadin, it really intrigued me. It's always bothered me that for a Java programmer to make an app based in the browser, they had to learn HTML and Javascript to actually finish the project. Why the heck couldn't we just do it all in a single language? Why all this front-end voodoo?
  • My opinion on the Tauri framework
    4 projects | dev.to | 16 May 2024
    I've always liked GUI, both desktop-based and browser-based before you needed five years of training on the latter. That's the reason I loved, and still love Vaadin: you can develop web UIs without writing a single line of HTML, JavaScript, and CSS. I'm still interested in the subject; a couple of years ago, I analyzed the state of JVM desktop frameworks.

    But how do we explain the complexity of the current toolset? This is where the Law of the instrument kicks in: "If the only tool you have is a hammer, it is tempting to treat everything as if it were a nail.". Even if JavaScript was born in the web, JavaScript centered frameworks do not fit properly in the web. That is why we have huge bundles of JavaScript, that is why RSC are necessary (things like RSC were already a thing in Vaadin) and that is how JavaScript became the Birmingham screwdriver.
