The good thing about JavaFX - as I can see it - it is super clean syntax. If
you compare it with flex, you will have this ugly XML / javascript mixture.
The same goes for Silverlight - I just hate XAML.

Like one of my friends like to say "XAML and the sun - it the same - don't
look directly into it"


I have only been in love with javaFX for about an hour so ... Before I jump
on the bandwagon I'll have to dig a little deeper. But I'll keep you posted.

Thanx John e for totally mess up my Christmas !!

Over and out - see you guys in 2009

Happy holidays from Denmark

Best regards

I just got done with my morning break on the throne and found a good
update article in SDTimes:

I tried to load some JavaFX apps onto my machine (per John) only to find
out that the Linux desktop isn't yet supported - bummer.

If JavaFX is easier to code (i.e. simpler syntax) it makes me wonder if
it
will also be used on the server side to replace Java business logic and
the like? Competitor of EGL maybe?

Niels, if you research it more please do respond back and let us know
what
you find.

Hi John.

I had never heard about JavaFX - but after browsing around, download it to
my NetBeans .. must say .. I'm in love :)

The language is a crossover between java and javascript. Fx is a dynamic
language where you access java classes and define object just like in
javascript. Very slick way of inherence and the way to expose methods as
properties with a simple "bind" keyword - is just brilliant.

JavaFX is actually another good argument for making the 5250 javascript
proxy - JavaFX will just swallow the JSON stream I am talking about....
