Excellent presentation that stayed the course plus answered the questions well. Sound when remote viewing was a bit chopped but otherwise, outstanding.! Thanks Per, and I'm looking forward to the new bridge between Javascript and Java.
— Thomas Buhr
The content was interesting, but the delivery was lackluster. The pace sort of plodded along. The demos were really interesting, especially the one that was acting as a terminal shell. Unfortunately, the poor resolution of the stream made it almost impossible to see any details in the demos.

Great technical talk on bleeding edge JavaFX 2.0 development.
— Stephen Chin
The team was well organized the speaker ended up being late but sometimes that can't be helped. It seemd they handled that in stride and the presentation was very informative. I say this from an experience standpoint. Because i am just getting my feet wet I can't authoritatively speak to the technology presented but the fact there was more than 1 expert meant good ideas sometimes progressed to the best idea that they know about.

Excellent questions. Speakers were under fire to answer lots of diverse topics, and I think they handled it very well.

Nice talk, but I was hopping it'll be more revealing. I guess we just have to wait till public beta is released.

Streaming was excellent. I would like to have seen some demos of the code running, but it is really cool that other languages can/will be used with JavaFX
— John Baker
Very much appreciated the fine presentation of the various alternative languages. Nice to see the examples all based on familiar JavaFX usages. I have been curious about these alternatives for a while. In some cases this was my first look, e.g., Clojure which is very intriguing with its optimization for concurrency. Am a bit surprised Jython didn't rate more attention, but I assume Stephen has a very good grasp of the best alternative paths, and I trust his judgment.
— Phil Freihofner
I've never heard Steve present before. He did a good job on a very interesting subject. I would like to see more topics on Scala; in particular using Scala in the User Interface.

It was great to learn about the direction of javafx. It's too bad that 2.0 is so far out as I'd like to start integrating it into my current project now :)
— Andrew Dixon
A nice review of 2.0, especially as I did not attend JavaOne. Overall I think JavaFX is still heading in the right direction.
— Eric Kolotyluk
Thanks for providing the online stream. It's great for those times when we can't make it on-site to attend in person. Looking forward to the next meeting; hope to make that one in person.

Perfect format - code, demo and interaction. Like paid training. To make it even better, have an intermediate session and invite another JavaFX expert around to answer questions
— John Baker
Very useful grounding in the basic use of JavaFX's Scene Graph and sequences. Eye-opening demonstration on JavaFX's code brevity.
— Tom Hite
Loved the format! A very Hands On approach.
— Francisco J. Carriedo
Thanks again for all your effort in broadcasting this. It's a great service for the community!
