We are now in the final push to get the first Preview Release of the JavaFX SDK out the door for the end of the month. I'm excited by what we've put together but also exhausted. We've done an incredible... read moreJavaFX Innovations: Inline Examples and Screenshots
July 03 2008
One of the innovations in the JavaFX toolchain is our new javafxdoc tool. Rather than producing a set of html files like regular 'javadoc' does, we produce a single large XML file representing the entire codebase's API. This lets us... read moreJava Doodle: fading translucent windows, on PC & Mac

This is the next in my series of Java Doodles. There is a link to my previous one in the references below. This time I'm going to show you how to make a translucent window by setting the opacity value... read moreJava Doodle: crossdomain.xml Support

While we wait for the full JavaFX SDK to be released later this summer I'd like to show you some cool desktop Java things that you can do right now. This is the first in a series I'm going to... read moreJavaOne Exhaustion (with links!)
May 19 2008
So another JavaOne has come to an end. This time I think I finally tried to simply do too much. I'm lucky I didn't get the Moscone flu. Still, all in all, I think we had a good showing. I'm... read moreJavaOne video blogs with Rachel Hill
May 07 2008
My first two video blogs with Rachel Hill are up. The first is a sneak peek of what's coming during my demo prep. The second is some excerpts from this mornings keynote, including the t-shirt hurling and Neil Young's Blu-Ray... read moreMay 07 2008
We launched JavaFX.com today. I'm very excited about this site since I was personally involved in putting it together. We have videos of the JavaFX demos from each keynote as well as explanations of what JavaFX is, where you can... read moreMay 07 2008
Well, the initial showing didn't go so well. The main parts worked but it crashed twice on stage when my boss demoed it. When we showed it again this afternoon and added Jabber support live, everything worked beautifully. I guess... read moreMay 01 2008
I almost forgot in the rush up to JavaOne that I recently appeared (is that possible in an audio only podcast?) in lucky episode 13 of the RIA weekly. RIA Weekly is a podcast by Michael Cote of RedMonk and... read moreApril 20 2008
You may be wondering why I haven't blogged recently, or why some of the JavaFX lists have died down, or more generally just what the heck we are all doing these days. Well, there's something you need to understand: JavaOne... read moreApril 06 2008
As we all rush headlong into JavaOne prep someone (okay it was James Gosling) sent me an email about performance of JavaFX. Speed is a crucial issue for anything dealing with user interfaces, so we care deeply about performance in... read moreApril 06 2008
Okay, so I've actually been back for several weeks, but JavaOne stuff has kept me super busy. I had a simply awesome time in Syndey. It's really a great city to visit. Very clean and friendly. And some truly excellent... read moreBleg: do you know of any good forum software?
March 29 2008
Today I think I shall use the power of my blog for evil instead of good. Well, maybe not evil but at least for my own personal gain. I need some forum software. After searching online for an hour or... read moreJavaFX Doodle #3: A Paper Cutout Demo
March 27 2008
I just flew back from Australia where I spoke at the Sydney tech days and boy are my arms tired. Actually, it's more my legs than my arms, and technically I arrived before I left which is pretty weird...... read moreMarch 18 2008
This is some old videos from the early days of the internet. And by videos I mean VHS. Videos from the mid 1990s that taught you about what the internet is and how to use it. Check out the screenshots... read more
