Project Hummingbird

Explore Project Hummingbird, a groundbreaking initiative bridging Java development with modern web technologies, in this 29-minute Devoxx conference talk by Dr. Joonas Lehtinen. Discover how this project combines the strengths of Vaadin Framework with Polymer-based web components, connecting JVM to the browser via web sockets. Learn about leveraging Angular 2 templates to bind shared server-client data models to the DOM, achieving static page-like load speeds through server pre-rendering while maintaining the dynamic interactions of single-page applications. Gain insights into the evolving landscape of web development, where Java developers can extend beyond backend REST APIs to create powerful, responsive front-end solutions. Understand the potential of Project Hummingbird in simplifying web app development and enhancing user experiences, as presented by the founder of Vaadin and leader of a 130+ engineer team dedicated to open-source developer tools and components.
