JavaFX 2.0 at the Chennai JUG

steveonjava | February 21, 2011

I was fortunate enough to be invited to speak at the Chennai Java User Group during my trip to India.  I was expecting a small group of very devoted Java fans; however, I was surprised to walk into a room of over 200 developers eager to learn about JavaFX 2.0.  The venue was very impressive with rows of workstations that we later used for a lab, as well as plenty of seating.

Also, Raj was a great host, and both he and the folks at Tenth Planet went completely over the top with this event.  This included:

  • A life-size poster with the event details
  • An ornamental flower arrangement with the event details
  • Two gifts presented at the conclusion of the talk

The session ran from 10AM through 4:30PM with a break for lunch in the middle.  When half the hands went up for returning after lunch, I didn’t believe most of them would be back, but we easily had 60% of the folks back in their seats by the time we were ready to start.

If you are interested to see the slides from the talk, you can find them on Slideshare here:

Thanks again to the folks in the Chennai JUG for being great hosts!
