As a rehearsal for my workshop at GWT.create 2013, I gave an internal presentation/workshop last year about responsive layouts in Vaadin. The workshops at the conference weren’t recorded, but fortunately we record all of our internal presentations and trainings, so you have a chance to see this workshop after all (the content has only small differences to the actual workshop at the conference).

During the two hour session I briefly introduce the concept of responsive layouts and then proceed to implement a very typical collapsing header-sidebar-content layout – which works across desktop, tablet and phone browsers – using Vaadin, Sass, media queries and the Vaadin Responsive add-on.

If you’re interested in the source code for the example, you can get that from GitHub. The slides are available there as well: https://github.com/jounik/GWT.create-workshop
