Live Video Streaming Guide – Part 2 : Hardware
This is the second installation of my Live Streaming Guide, which will go over all the hardware you need to get setup. While you can spend tens of thousands of dollars on professional gear, it is possible to put together a high quality setup for a fraction of that cost. You may also be able to reuse some of your existing hardware, further reducing the cost.
Launching Hyperlinks from JavaFX (including Mobile)
Creating hyperlinks in JavaFX should be in the category of things that are trivially easy, but is complicated by various factors, such as deployment mode and Java version. First I will go into detail on all the different permutations of how you can launch links in a browser and under what circumstances each will work. Next I will give you a nice packaged solution that you can use as a library (if you are impatient, just skip to The Easy Way Out now). Finally, I will show how you can do the same thing for JavaFX Mobile applications. A Tale of 3 APIs There are 3 different ways that you can launch hyperlinks in Java/JavaFX. It helps to have an internet connection such as broadband to be able to launch this. Unfortunately, none of them work in all circumstances, so you need to know when to call each. Here is a quick reference table:
Live Video Streaming Guide - Part 1 : Introduction
Recently I have been doing a lot of research, experimentation, and processing of videos for the Silicon Valley JavaFX User Group. We decided from day 1 that we wanted to take things up a notch by providing high quality web streaming of our events. It makes particular sense for us, because the JavaFX community is spread all around the world, and we want to be able to reach as wide of an audience as possible. However, once you have everything setup the overhead is minimal, so it is worthwhile to do for any user group or event.
Hinkmond's JavaFX Mobile Dojo
In case you missed the big event last week, I have finished post-processing and uploading the video. We took the quality up a notch by getting a direct screen capture from the presenter laptop. This means that you will not only get crystal clear slides, but also full-screen demos and a nice tight head-shot of the presenter. This moves our video setup firmly up from a Level 4 to a premium Level 1 operation as detailed in Stephan Janssen's blog.

I finished post-processing and publishing our January talk with Amy Fowler on Parleys.com.
SvJugFx Stream Page
Just a quick note. I have added a new page for the Silicon Valley JavaFX User Group live stream in the toolbar above. It contains an embedded movie player, chat window, and link to Google Moderator. The direct url is: http://steveonjava.com/svjugfx/
2010 Blog - Revisited
To bring in the New Year, I did a complete revamp of my blog. Wordpress.com served me well initially, but the limitations started to cramp my style. Now I am off the corporate cloud and running on a 100% Open Source platform.
