JavaFX presentation at AJUG
Wed Dec 03 14:30:00 CST 2008
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:
* Sdk will be available on http://JavaFX.com
* Linux support not ready yet! Trajedy!!! "we are comitted to supporting it!"
* New site will be cut over on Thursday. (I think Josh is doing it before he gets on a plane?)
* Inkscape plugins by campus? ambassador? in Brazil
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.
