JavaFX and Java SE 6 Update 10: A new Desktop Experience

Meeting time: Thu, Sep 11 at 6:00pm

Meeting Location: Oracle
45 Network Way, Burlington, Ma

Overview:

Java SE is on over 90% of desktops and Java ME is on over 90% of mobile phones. Java is also making a big dent in the consumer space such as set top boxes, Blu-Ray Disc players and so on. Although Java client technology is ubiquitous, consumer applications are not because development and deployment for consumers is still too hard. Rich Applications has achieved a new degree of sophistication with requirements to add multimedia and animation.

With the introduction of the preview release of JavaFX SDK and Java SE 6 update N, it is possible to incorporate animation and multimedia into new and existing Java applications. The talk will explore new features of the JavaFX platform such as graphics, animation, media followed
by improvement to the core Java runtime for deployment and installation.

After attending this session attendees should be able to walk away with a good understanding of where the JavaFX and Java SE platform is headed, how this should ease their development and deployment concerns and how to apply these new technologies in their products and projects.
