- Gerrit Grunwald continues to rapidly iterate on his medusa gauge library for JavaFX. By the time you read this it might be out of date, but the last recorded release I saw was for 1.0.
- Speaking of Gerrit, he has also done a small blog post on some code he wrote for making colour selection a little easier: he now has created enums for a number of popular colour sets (e.g. Material Design, Flat UI, etc).
- Robert Ladstätter has blogged about how he used the Gluon JavaFX tooling to port his fx-tictactoe game to Android.
- Speaking of Gluon, there is now a public release schedule for the various projects being developed (e.g. JavaFXPorts, Gluon Charm, Gluon Particle, Scene Builder, and Gluon Cloud). You can go straight to the release schedule page here.
- Voxxed has posted an article about ‘Android on OpenJDK: The Developer Perspective‘, which gives a good overview of the possible changes due to Androids recent change from Apache Harmony to OpenJDK.
- Hendrik Ebbers has an interesting read on the amount of work he and Michael Heinrichs had to go through to build the JavaOne voting machines.
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.
