FX Experience Has Gone Read-Only

I've been maintaining FX Experience for a really long time now, and I love hearing from people who enjoy my weekly links roundup. One thing I've noticed recently is that maintaining two sites (FX Experience and JonathanGiles.net) takes more time than ideal, and splits the audience up. Therefore, FX Experience will become read-only for new blog posts, but weekly posts will continue to be published on JonathanGiles.net. If you follow @FXExperience on Twitter, I suggest you also follow @JonathanGiles. This is not the end - just a consolidation of my online presence to make my life a little easier!

tl;dr: Follow me on Twitter and check for the latest news on JonathanGiles.net.

JavaFX 1.2 and JavaOne 2009

Jasper and I are back at the hotel working on writing blogs and building the site design and thinking a lot about JavaOne 2009 which has just about come to an end, and about what our direction is going to be for the next year for Controls and JavaFX in general.

Experiencing JavaFX

JavaFX is a new and exciting technology coming out of Sun Microsystems, and being members of the team responsible for its development, we think that we can give you insight into our thoughts and experiences with JavaFX. As key members of the JavaFX team at Sun Microsystems, you’re getting information directly from the source.

The people responsible for this site are:

  • Richard Bair: API design lead, key developer on the scenegraph, and lead of JavaFX UI Controls.
  • Jasper Potts: Design wizard and author of the Charts API in JavaFX.
  • Jonathan Giles: Developer on the JavaFX UI Controls team.

Between the three of us, we are heavily involved in writing demos, giving information on samples, docs, and books, linking to interesting sites, and doing other things using JavaFX. We hope you enjoy our blog!
