JavaOne Coming to the OSUM Community

Monday May 18, 2009

We understand that not everyone can make the trip to San Francisco to attend JavaOne. That's why we've made special arrangements to bring JavaOne to the Open Source University Meetup (OSUM) Community. We have scheduled a series of webinars which are previews of hands-on labs that will be conducted at JavaOne. Check the OSUM events calendar for the complete schedule and RSVP today.

Java FX Opportunity For Students

Monday Apr 06, 2009

JavaFX provides developers, designers and students with unparalleled freedom and flexibility to create the next generation of rich internet applications (RIAs) for mobile devices, desktops and other devices. The Java FX Coding Challenge was recently launched, providing a new opportunity for developers, designers or students to submit an innovative rich internet application using JavaFX 1.1 and NetBeans 6.5, and win big bucks:

1st Place: $25,000
2nd Place: $10,000
3rd Place: $5,000

I have no doubt that students will be have some great submissions and will be in contention for these top prizes, but just in case, three additional prizes of $1,500 each will be awarded to the top three applications submitted by students.

As with all contests, there are Contest Guidelines and Rules so make sure you review these before you get started. Then get to work on your own JavaFX application and submit before the deadline - May 29, 2009.
