You call that full stack? First class JavaEE and JavaFX integration

Published October 14th, 2009 Under Coding, User Interface | Leave a Comment

With the official release of JavaFX Sun has recommitted itself to the hyper-competitive rich client UI market, competing directly against Silverlight & Adobe Air. JavaFX has one advantage over either of those technologies: synergy with JavaEE. This session will teach several techniques to tightly integrate JavaFX with JavaEE mainstays such as JSF, JAX-WS, EL & EJB. We’ll begin by linking the success of JavaFX to its ability to leverage existing JavaEE based infrastructure, while at the same time delivering on its core competencies relating to the five dimensions of media: video, audio, text, 3D & animation. With the business case made, we’ll select four of the many useful technologies from Java EE & justify our selection on the basis of enterprise demand for these features & their fit with the core mission of JavaFX. For each of JSF, JAX-WS, EL, and EJB we’ll get at what parts of those technologies are well suited to being leveraged from JavaFX & give demonstations of each.

Gaming with JavaFX: Developing the Next Generation of Casual Games

Published October 7th, 2009 Under Coding, User Interface | Leave a Comment

From the independent game developer point of view, JavaFX offers a lot of advantages. It’s a multi platform, royalty free without vendors limitations. The JavaFX SDK offers for a independent game developer enthusiast is the same offered to a big game software house. I’ve been developing some casual and classical games to study where the weaknesses and strengths of JavaFX for game developers and also to discovery which common code patterns arose that could be encapsulated in a game framework that eases the development of casual games. In this presentation I’d like to show how all this and show some common implementations of JavaFX casual games such tile maps, sprites, collision detection and integration with web services.
