If you were at JavaOne this year, you probably heard a lot about Java on the desktop -- from cool 3D Java applications from NASA, to updates on technologies such as Swing and Abstract Window Toolkit (AWT), and the announcement of Sun's new Java FX software.
This week, ITConversations posted a podcast with Chet Haase (of "Filthy Rich Clients" fame). Take a listen to hear Chet talking about a wide-range of topics including: Java graphics, JavaFX, media & more.
Chet's also got a blog entry about it.
You can also see Chet's presentation from JavaOne (along with Thorsten Laux, also from Sun) on Desktop Java Technology Today.
