Many of the younger readers of this blog haven't heard of the legendary comedy team Martin and Lewis (Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis). The late singer/actor Dean Martin was the straight man of the team, and comedian/actor Jerry Lewis was the comedic foil. Each of the pair were incredibly talented, but when playing off of each other the audience routinely doubled over in laughter.
Although I'm not going to compare Martin Gunnarsson and Pär Sikö to Martin and Lewis (the latter never wrote code), Martin and Pär are incredibly funny when playing off of each other during their technical presentations. Each has won the coveted JavaOne Rockstar award, and it is a real treat to attend their presentations.
This year at JavaOne 2012, Martin and Pär will deliver a conference session entitled JavaFX Mashups. This session is scheduled on Tuesday, Oct 2 from 1p-2p in the Hilton San Francisco, and has the following description:
"A mix of content or functionality from two or more Web-based services has become known as a mashup. This presentation takes the mashup concept one step further by mixing Web content and scripts with a JavaFX program, effectively blurring the line between Web and application. This is made possible by the powerful WebView component of JavaFX. The session shows how to display Web content in a JavaFX application and how to set up two-way communications between the Java code and JavaScript code run in WebView. It includes several cool and creative examples based on this technique."
I'm really looking forward to attending this presentation in which Martin and Pär will entertain and enlighten us about how JavaFX and Web content play together well. If you haven't yet registered for JavaOne 2012, you can do so here! Hope to see you at JavaOne.
