Campus Party: News about Campus Party (BR)

Common questions the audience made about JavaFX Technologies that you can also find on the JavaFX FAQ.

• How do I get the JavaFX 1.0 Runtime?

JavaFX 1.0 Desktop Runtime will be automatically downloaded on Windows and Mac OS desktops and browsers that support Java 1.5 or higher, when users access a JavaFX application for the first time. Users don't have to download anything additional to run JavaFX applications.

JavaFX 1.0 platform includes support for developing JavaFX Mobile applications only for the mobile emulator. The JavaFX runtime for mobile devices will be released in Spring 2009.

• What type of Web services can I call from JavaFX applications?

JavaFX applications can call RESTful Web Services that return results in XML or JSON. JavaFX 1.0 includes an API for making asynchronous HTTP requests and a parser API for XML and JSON.

• What is JavaFX Script?

JavaFX Script is a simple declarative language designed for creative minds who like to program in a visual context. It's easy- to- learn and familiar syntax allows content authors to write in a format that closely matches the layout of graphical user interfaces. A core strength of the language is it's unique data binding feature, which is a simple syntax for synchronizing the state of multiple objects, thus allowing GUI components to automatically change state with changes in underlying data. The language is fully object-oriented, complete with method and attributes, thus allowing expert programmers to build highly complex and robust interfaces.

• I currently build applications in Java. Can I reuse my Java libraries in JavaFX Script?

Yes. You can leverage the power of Java by using any Java library within a JavaFX application. This way you can preserve your investment in Java and use JavaFX to build engaging visual experiences.

The proven security model of Java can be leveraged to securely deploy JavaFX applications and access system resources such as file system and system devices. And because JavaFX applications are compiled to Java byte-code, they take advantage of the dynamic Java HotSpot Virtual Machine to get the best possible performance.

       Yesterday at 11 o'clock in the night, Ronaldo Pass was the only speaker of the night, managed to understand that the attention of all persons who were present. It showed a little about Ease of use - Administration, Call Flow Monitoring, GlassFish v2, GlassFish v3 which Support for upcoming Java EE 6 profiles, Dynamic Languages & Frameworks, Some Adoption Indicators, Who else is using GlassFish.

Yesterday, campus party, the space reserved for Software Livre , 11:00 am, the Vitório Sassi, which is part of Ambassadors of the project, presented the "ZFS in OpenSolaris." As everyone knows, the ZFS file system is a differential that has been comparing the market, a system of simple file move, robust, full. Interestingly, in this presentation, we had a special presence in the lecture, the "Jack Adams", complementing the lecture, and distributing gifts during the lecture.

The last day, the campus ambassadors Tom Mix presents a talk about Sun Spot again in the field of Robotics.

Tom talked about features, resources, applications and demo of Sun Spot. More informations about Sun Spot, look the last post.

Tom mix talked about the OSUM and about the Group Campus Party in OSUM.

Pedro and Marcelo, Sun Campus Ambassadors  presented a talk about Zones and Dtrace in opensolaris operating system this night at Campus Party.

Zones, an O.S. abstraction for partitioning systems, allowing multiple applications to run in isolation from each other on the same physical hardware and DTrace is a dynamic tracing framework for opensolaris which provides a infrastructure to allow administrators and developers to concisely answer arbitrary questions about the behavior of the operating system and user programs (since the kernel to high level), the scripts of this tool are written in a programming language called D.

They talked about features, presented a little tutorial and they also talked about the social network provided by sun to students opensource comunity, OSUM.

After that many people came to us to know more abous this technology, it was great.

Tomorrow Pedro Reis and me(Marcelo Arbore) will be giving a presentation covering OS virtualization with zones and Dynamic monitoring with DTrace.

So, write it down!

23/01/09, 20h, Open source stage at Campus-Party 2009.

See you guys there!

Early today, Ricardo Chikasawa presented a talk about Java Card, a technology that allows small Java-based applications to run securely on smart cards. This technology is usually used for programming SIM Cards (mobile phone), credit cards, and more.

Ricardo talked about structure of a smart card, how to program, and what you need to begin. He also talked about where do you looking for resources and social netowork for students, OSUM.

It was amazing, and I guess people who attended it liked too.

This high-performance, open source virtualization software supports the most popular desktop operating systems hosting business, including the Solaris and OpenSolaris, Microsoft Windows, Linux and Apple Mac OS X.

Hi all!

Today's night I'll presenting "Introduction on OpenSolaris" at 22h(Brazil).

Since this is the last presentation of the day, I talked to some guys from the OpenSolaris user groups staying here at Campus-Party, and them agreed to give a few hours course covering some of the most interesting technologies of OpenSolaris.

The topics that we will cover, starting 22h(Brazil), are:

Introduction on OpenSolaris and it's new features

DTrace: Observability in production systems

ZFS: The best filesystem in the planet

Zones: OS virtualization

It will be all starting at 22h, in the "Software Livre"(OpenSource Software) stage.

See you there!

The Open-Source University Meet-Up (OSUM) is an academic developer organization that educates its members about open source technologies in a fun and engaging way.

In OSUM, you create an avatar, containing a little bit about you, your preferences and some of your work too. You can bind your blog, videos, photos, RSS feeds and more.

You can also create, or join communities that represents a technology, a university or just a group of developers. Through this is possible to collaborate online in forums and community groups with other students and academic developers and share your technical interests.

The Campus-Party community can be found at:

http://osum.sun.com/group/campusparty

There you can find pictures, presentations, news about the party and more! 

Come and join us!

 You can come and say a hello to me too at:

Third day in the Campus Party, occurred a few minutes to the presentation of Ronaldo Prass, JEDI. The community OpenSource Group of users in their studies and Technical School or University Sharing knowledge .Exchange of experience and teamwork . Learn to be very helpful when others to learn.

Also on the Campus Party's second day (and even before our lunch), Ronaldo Prass SCA (UNISINOS) started a tech demo showing how can we Virtualyze a OpenSolaris using Sun xVM Virtualbox.[Read More]

Install Fast OpenSolaris, the Ronaldo Pass presented at the morning, a presentation on OpenSolaris in Virtual Box Teh interesting take Ronaldo to the ranger of lectures.

Me and João Carlos looking for our tent.

We and more than four thousand enthusiasts we be living for seven days inside a world called Campus Party.
