Just finished watching. Found it to be a great presentation and was quite useful to get me started. Thanks a bunch - from a returning developer of Vaadin!

[@avonzo]

Excellent concept. Especially given that Java comes with a load of support so that the developers can produce quality products for the end user. Excellent strategy Vaadin. I like how you think!

Pretty cool for backend developers, so they can build frontend easily with that.

This guy is not good to explain on youtube. Fast and not expressive. 119 $ it's not too expensive.

[@diergui]

Expensive or not depends of the country you are living :'-(

[@hypnoticlizard9693]

$119 a month per seat is way too expensive

[@fos1451]

Way too fast at explaining
