Continuing our collaboration with San Jose State University (SJSU), this week we would like to highlight a project developed by Steven Le who is a 4th year under graduate student pursuing BS in Software Engineering at SJSU. This project was developed under the guidance of Dr. Jerry Gao who is a professor at SJSU and was developed in a span of three days. This goes to show that even students with no prior knowledge of the JavaFX language or design experience could pick up JavaFX and create something really simple and usable. The project being highlighted is a typical Calendar Book with ability to flip pages, add pre-loaded icons for various events such as birthday, meeting, dinner etc, and Inline text editing to add a new appointment.
- Try the Application
- Source Code ( You can download this and build it using NetBeans)
More about Steven Le - in his own words :
I'm in my 4th year at SJSU pursuing a BS in Software Engineering. My interests include learning about new technologies, especially in mobile and web development. On the side, I like to mess around with digital design and multimedia type things. Outside of computers, I can enjoy the more active outdoor activities like scuba, water sports, camping, hiking, and sky diving, but most of the time, I'm playing regular sports like basketball and tennis. Basically, I'm just into trying new things.
Great application! Nice use of graphics + data feed + utility.
I had to copy the source to a folder called "BlackMamba-src" to get it to compile/run with NetBeans - however one could also just change the project properties to point to the src folder too.
Steven - Maybe this could be added as a WidgetFX too - so that un-docked calendar would be the full version?

I do not like it. No where near the showcases from http://silverlight.net/showcase/

Javafx I hope to have ready-made tree, table components, there is the ability to flexibly the layout, so that the layout can be relatively free to develop a useful procedure.
I would like to put my jsf program into javafx procedures, so that can have a greater coverage, and better operating experience.
Unfortunately, javafx the loading speed is still too slow, then quick like, and load a simple scenario also appears slower.
If we can, like jsf + ajax, as the scene switches a little faster, it is really great, javafx development needs to be accelerated ah.
