James Gosling had a lot to say about JavaFX Script and JavaFX Moble at JavaPolis 2007. The video of the Q&A session with James Gosling has just been posted in which he addresses audience questions, a few of which relate to JavaFX.
The video is twenty-five minutes long, and there is an index that enables you to go directly to each of the questions:
Particulary relevant to JavaFX are the answers that Dr. Gosling gives to the "Where is Swing Going", "What is the future of Java in the RIA space?", and "Why would I use JavaFX instead of Flex?" questions. It's worth a listen!
JavaFX Script Boot Camp Registration Now Open
I will be offering a 2.5 day JavaFX Script 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 is now open, and I am accepting 12 students in this pilot class. The cost of this pilot class will be 900 USD, and additional people from the same company 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). I'm looking forward to teaching this class and hope that you can attend!
