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.

  • Christoph Nahr has blogged about JavaFX pane clipping, which is a very useful read for anyone wanting to put content inside a pane and clip it properly – with or without borders. This content was also added to my FXDocs project (for slowly building up a JavaFX ‘book’).
  • Samir Hadzic has blogged about the new zoom feature he has added to the SpreadsheetView control, as part of ControlsFX.
  • Gerrit Grunwald has created a cool clock skin for his Medusa project.
  • A Markdown Writer FX project has been created to write markdown using JavaFX. This is a nice project, and it is nice to see editors exist for both markdown and asciidoc, both written in JavaFX.
  • I interviewed two teams of students from Massey University on their use of Gluon Mobile in their team projects. The first team interview has now been published.
  • Thomas Nield has released RxJavaFX 0.3.0, with a number of improvements.
  • Manuel Mauky is working on the advanced bindings project for JavaFX.
  • Markus Falkhausen is working on creating class diagrams for JavaFX.
