Bay Area JUG Round-Up and Stuart’s Hands-on JavaFX Videos Available

steveonjava | June 17, 2010

I am pleased to announce that we have a couple new videos available on the Silicon Valley JavaFX User Group (SvJugFx) video site. Here is a link to the landing page where you can watch these videos as well as all our previous sessions:

The first new video is a Hands-On JavaFX Lab given by Stuart Marks, core JavaFX team member, and regular SvJugFx attendee. This was our most successful meeting so far for the local audience, because it filled in the gap between the very technical rich presentations we started with and the experience level of the attendees. The entire flood tutorial was published as an HTML document, but it is much more entertaining to see Stuart do it first hand:

The second was the wildly popular Bay Area JUG Round-Up event. All the Bay Area user groups cooperated to host a massive event with a live recording of the Java Posse. Oracle sponsored the event, with an introduction by Justin Kestelyn and update on Java.net from Sonya Barry. And of course the Java Posse did an amazing job working the crowd with some hilarious techie humor.

For our meeting next month we have the esteemed Max Katz coming to speak on Enterprise JavaFX. He will demonstrate how to use the open-source Flamingo framework to connect a JavaFX application to an enterprise backend using JBoss Seam. For those of you who don’t know, Exadel also develops an Eclipse plug-in for JavaFX, which he will be using for all his coding examples. It should be an exciting event, so please sign-up to attend in person or online:
