Event Description

JavaFX 2.0 is the long-awaited reboot of the JavaFX platform with new JVM Language-friendly Java APIs, improved controls, and many other features that put JavaFX back in the running as the premier rich client platform on the desktop.

We are very pleased to have Richard Bair back to let us in on the latest developments in JavaFX 2.0. You will get a chance to see real code (Java APIs), and dig in on the state of control development, swing integration, browser support, and other advanced features.
