Tutorial: a Vaadin Application on Google App Engine in 5 Minutes

In this tutorial you’ll learn how to create your very first Vaadin web application, how to run it on a local AppEngine development server and how to deploy it to the Google App Engine infrastructure. And all of that in about 5 to 10 minutes. Yes, if you have the necessary prerequisites installed, you’ll be up and running straight away. Thanks to the power of Maven.

This tutorial is in the form of

a nicely formatted, 4-page, quick reference card. You can download it straight away, no sign-ups required.

The card will guide you through the process of:
