Is that a JavaFX widget in your pocket ?

As the M3DD
conference passes the halfway mark, you may have missed the
presentation on JavaFX Mobile,
which will be released in a little over a month. But Stephen Chin, WidgetFX creator, didn't. Take
a look at his impressions here.Now JavaFX integrates with Java (either locally by importing Java classes, or remotely with a server, like glassfish, via web service protocols) in part because it shares Java SE as a foundation. So its interesting to see what all you need to do in other technologies in Flex that don't share the JVM to integrate with a Java backend.
Jasper Potts was one of the engineers on stage with your humble Planetarium Janitor at the Devoxx 2008 keynote, and was responsible for bringing to life the hitherto static backdrop on the stage, using the JavaFX Production Suite. Here's how he did it.
So maybe its time to learn a little more about JavaFX. Maybe you should enroll in the free online training course from javapassion.com. First class: next week.
