Java web app tutorial series intro

Hi my name is Marcus I’m the head of the community over here at Vaadin. And welcome to our course on building web apps in Java. In this course you’ll learn everything you need to know to build a modern full stack web application all in Java. The course is designed for developers who already know Java from before, however, you should be able to follow along just fine if you’re new to Java - just be ready to look up some of the concepts that may be new to you as we go along. We’ll walk you through how to install your development environment and all the tools that you need so you can follow along no matter what your previous skill set is.

In this tutorial we’ll focus on the practical real-life 00:39 - skills that you need when building applications. To do that we’re going to build an application from scratch step by step until we have a production ready app that we can deploy into the cloud. The application that we’re going to build will have: a login screen, a mobile friendly responsive layout a view for listing and editing contacts that we’ve stored in a database, a dashboard view for showing stats, and tests for both the logic and the UI code. We’ll even make the application installable by turning it into a progressive web application. And finally we’re going to show you how to deploy the application to a cloud provider.

We’re using Spring Boot for the backend of our application and 01:20 - Vaadin for the front-end. Both of these frameworks focus on one thing and that’s developer productivity, so when you’re using them together you’re going to get a really nice experience that I think you’ll love.
