Check out interview with JavaFX developer Jeff Friesen
Reviews Interactive recently spoke with Jeff “JavaJeff” Friesen, a freelance software developer and educator specializing in Java technology. Jeff teaches Java at a local college and has written several books on Java, as well as numerous articles for java.net and JavaWorld.com. Jeff has an upcoming article on JavaFX 1.2's animated transition classes that is scheduled to be published in September at InformIT.com.
Jeff's primary involvement with JavaFX is currently academic, helping developers learn how to best use and extend Sun's JavaFX technology. Much of Jeff's research is presented in articles on his Web site at javajeff.mb.ca. Jeff's most recent JavaFX research projects include the "Painter's Canvas" article, which “provides the means to introduce complex graphics, such as fireworks, into a scene that cannot be (easily) generated via nodes,” as well as the recently published Units Converter application for JavaFX 1.2. Jeff reported he is currently working on some new and interesting JavaFX applications and has written additional articles on various JavaFX 1.2 APIs that will be posted in articles on his Web site later this month.
