JavaFX —
With the launch of JavaFX Mobile around last week’s Mobile World Congress meeting in Barcelona, it’s time for developers to start thinking about the best ways to build mobile apps using JavaFX. The range of form factors that JavaFX handsets will have means that UIs will need to be designed that adapt to the characteristics [...]
You are cordially invited to pop over to JFXStudio.org to try out a demo of JavaFX eating its own dog food…

Is Adobe worried about JavaFX? They’re ripping off JavaFX Script features for next Flex version; and calling the JavaFX rip-off parts “Fx”!

Yes, I’m reblogging my own, somewhat overly dramatic tweets. Don’t worry, I won’t make a habit of it! Anyway, I guess the point is - Flex code looks a [...]
The technical side of the JavaFX platform is progressing well since its launch in December 2008, with technical innovations being delivered rapidly. There’s still a long way still to go of course. For example: more API features; optimized “user experiences”; better IDE support; new design tools; and improved video support are all needed. However what’s [...]
Update 21 February: I notice on DZone that @kirillcool commented somewhat dismissively, “If only it were so simple.” It’s worth emphasizing, then, that this post is about illustrating just how easy it is for people to get started with JavaFX. The truth is: it really is this easy to get going. Of course, that [...]
Update - 12thFeb: JavaFX Mobile launch partners starting to be announced already. They include LG (world No. 3 handset maker) and Sony Ericsson (world no. 4 handset maker) on the hardware front; and Sprint and Orange on the carrier front.
Sun’s JavaFX Mobile platform will be launched at next week’s Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. Aside [...]
Update 15 February, 2009: Be sure to head on over to JFXStudio, the new JavaFX Community site, for more JavaFX demos and examples.
It’s still early days for the JavaFX platform, and the API is not yet feature complete. If you’re writing JavaFX for the desktop, and you find yourself needing something that JavaFX can’t do, [...]
In the next few weeks, Sun Microsystems will launch JavaFX Mobile. For handset makers and network operators, this represents a huge opportunity to transform the mobile software industry. It’s an opportunity the industry should be jumping at - it might just be its savior. However, there’s a few things that will have to happen for [...]
Yesterday, I wrote up my first impressions of the new JavaFX 1.0 Runtime. I said then that, despite some bugs (which I expected, given that platform is all-new and had very little no testing), and some deployment usability issues (which I really wish some Sun folks would accept are usability issues), it was a strong [...]
I’ve seen quite a few people suggesting that no-one was interested in JavaFX. Ha! Well, today JavaFX 1.0 was launched, and Sun’s servers simply couldn’t cope with the demand, and the JavaFX site collapsed under the load (Update: it’s back up! I’ve added some detail to the post, including thoughts about Mac OS X). I [...]
