Alternative Languages at Devoxx and Soon JavaOne Brazil
I did my JavaFX Alternative Languages talk at Devoxx and will soon be presenting it at JavaOne Brazil (December 7-9th).
JavaFX 2.0 (a.k.a. What Just Happened to JavaFX Script?)
There were some huge announcements at JavaOne today for the JavaFX platform. Overall I think the announcements show some very positive momentum for the future of JavaFX and rich client Java, but there were some casualties...
Bay Area JUG Round-Up and Stuart's Hands-on JavaFX Videos Available
I am pleased to announce that we have a couple new videos available on the Silicon Valley JavaFX User Group (SvJugFx) video site. Here is a link to the landing page where you can watch these videos as well as all our previous sessions:

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.
JavaFX Layout Secrets with Amy Fowler
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/
JavaFX Layout Secrets
I am very pleased to have Amy Fowler (Aim) presenting on JavaFX Layouts at our January Silicon Valley JavaFX Users Group (SvJugFx). For those of you who don't know Aim, she was a founding member of the Swing team, has done some Rock Star presentations at JavaOne, and is a core member of the JavaFX team focused on all things layout.
SvJugFx Streamed Live with Richard Bair
For those of you who don't know, SvJugFx stands for the Silicon Valley JavaFX Users Group. We will be holding our very first meeting this coming Wednesday with a live, streamed presentation from the world renowned Richard Bair (who is now infamous for divulging JavaFX secrets at Devoxx).
First SvJugFx Meetup - JavaFX with Richard Bair
I am pleased to announce the formation of a new Silicon Valley JavaFX User Group. While this group is rooted in the SF Bay Area, we also plan to make it easy for remote attendees to watch and participate by doing live streaming of our meetings via USTREAM and allowing remote participation through Google Moderator.
