I Hear Voices: Chet Haase on JavaFX

Take a look at this InfoQ interview about JavaFX with Chet Haase, the lead author of "Filthy Rich Clients".  Please check out his book as well, because it will help prepare you for the transition to rich internet application development which I think will very quickly become pervasive this year (2008).

JavaFX Script Boot Camp Announcement

As a heads-up, I will be offering a JavaFX Script 2.5 day "boot camp" on Wednesday, April 9 through Friday, April 11, 2008 (ending at noon) in Indianapolis, Indiana.  This course is designed to get you quickly up to speed in JavaFX Script application development.  A primary reference for this course is my JavaFX Script book, but the course has its own syllabus which includes material covered in the book as well as up to the minute developments in compiled JavaFX Script.  Registration will open soon, and for this pilot class I am accepting 12 students.  The cost of this pilot class will be 900 USD per student.  Additional students from the same organization will be 600 USD.  You'll need to bring your laptop computer with the latest versions of the JavaFX Script downloads (which I'll specify in more detail as the class date approaches).  The prerequisite for the class will be the completion of a JavaFX Script programming assignment that I'll post soon to this weblog.  I'm looking forward to teaching this class and hope that you can attend!
