Josh is still working on the javafx web site. Looks like they are having a rough time deploying.

UPDATE: There they go, they got it now.

Last night I made it to the AJUG in time to catch some pizza and listen to Josh Marinacci talk about JavaFX.
JavaFX looks very cool for developing rich applications deliverable over the web (or locally). It makes applets not suck, and UI development looks surreally easy.
My notes from last night:
Very frustrated it won’t be available on Linux right away. For Mac will require 10.5+. requires Firefox 3 and IE 7. I think but am not sure that Safari will work.

Today was supposed to be get-home-early-and-stirfry-pork-broccoli.
I’m working on a new deploy mechanism. We have 20-25 servers that we need to be able to one-click-install-and-configure the front two-thirds of a J2EE software stack, including IIS->Resin running on Windows, JBoss on Linux. My predecessor has a mouse-trap-game of ant scripts involving telnet to do it. “As long as nothing goes wrong, it works every time.”

I now have a real-time peek into heap and non-heap memory usage on a production server. PermGen dooms us.

There’s learning idioms and there’s learning idioms.
Learning idioms, as in gaining knowledge of idioms, in a natural language as well as programming language. I don’t know that it is a specific skill, but it is definitely a general quality that is very useful in becoming productive in a new language. I have to think the two are related.
Made me think if idioms of learning. Will have to contemplate this. Generalized learning idioms might be useful in AI, but then might be useful in the real world, too, especially if you like to over-think things.

wrap up some straggler blog notes about nfsf.
git: Version control very popular among the presentorgencia? (presentatti?) seemed uncomfortably unstructured, but will have to look into it.
Brian Geotz’s are always great, and the Java Memory Model talk was worth the time. This will become more important as we look at things like terracotta.
Architecture and Scaling by Ken Sipe inspired me to set up the scaling lab at work and get some real numbers out of our application.
Leading Agile Projects by David Hussman. I think what I need next in my career is some bone-head manager training. My people leading and direction skills are not geared to what I am having to deal with at work right now.
Ted Neward was using the Komodo editor in a pinch during his magic show act.
In the roundtable/grilling/QA, one of the presenters mentioned Bill Gates going on a reading weekend. I thought this was a full week. I was right, and it even has a name:Think Week.
I need to google a bunch of things, including
I’ll update this post with links as I go.
Did you know you can just randomly put curly braces in a Java class, outside of a method. Uhh. Kind of a party trick. I’m not sure if it’s gross or not.

I am playing with Terracotta clustering, the way it should be: on different machines.
Solution:
Got the HelloClusteredWorld example going on two different machines hitting the same cluster. It’s a brain-dead hammering of a clustered object so I can see some performance grief, but it seems to be working find. This looks very promising. I am going to have to try some non-trivial prototypes.
Next stop: learn about ehcache.
