 We need to agree that JavaFX has come a long way in less than a year since Sun released 1.0 in December of 2008.
Let's also agree that JavaFX is a Rich client end technology meant for multiple screens: Desktop, Handsets, TV and Cars. It is suppose to be bringing the same experience on these screens if written to common profile. Which is excellent.
However, it still misses key features like recording of audio or video, accessing of native devices right from within JavaFX. Yeah, you may say that hey you can JMF in Java to access webcam or other recording devices. But folks that doesn't serve the purpose. If I have to use Java then why do I need JavaFX. JFX is suppose to be making a developers life way more easier and that is the reason I love it.
So, please do not ask me to use JMF. This is what many of the JavaFX developers feel, not just me. Java and JavaFX with no access to devices leaves the Java (&FX) story half completed. I am looking for a scenario where I should be able to plugin any device in a category (say, a webcam from any manufacturer) and it should just work - shoudl be as simple as that for a user.
Hey Sun developers and decision makers. If you are reading this, please please put it on your P1 list.
Looking forward to device support in JFX, sooner. |

Congratulations to the winners of JavaFX Coding Challenge, Sten Anderson, Naoaki Suganuma, and Evgeni Sergeev!
As I understand, many an excellent applications were submitted by JavaFX developer community. I can bet, it must have been challenging for the judges to pick the best three out of all of them.
However, IMO, first three winners are outstanding and that the first place winner, Music Explorer FX by Sten Anderson is just brilliant!
Here are the screen shots of the winner apps in the ranking order:

It is a great news that Indaba Music finally launched their Console 2.0. I can say it with proud that KSPTech Inc's team of engineers had the privilege of helping Indaba team with architecting and implementing major chuck of the User Interface.
The Alpha release announced this morning is totally written in Java and JavaFX1.1. It will soon be ported to JavaFX1.2 to make use of the latest and the greatest features in JavaFX1.2. Check out this screenshot, and a Wired article that contains a demonstration video by musician and co-founder Dan Zaccagnino. While working on Console 2.0, Indaba had decided to migrate from Flash based Console to Java and JavaFX based console. Main reason for their migration was to record high quality music by utilizing Java and JavaFX's capability to extract maximum power from the underlying platforms. Congratulations to the Indaba team and their community. |
