When I was in his neck of the woods last, I got the chance to talk with Sun’s Danny Coward, the Chief Architect of Sun’s Client Software (that is, Java SE, Java ME, JavaFX and JavaCard), about Java 6 Update 10. That seems like kind of a narrow topic to speak to, but as Danny and I discuss, it’s a big release for Sun’s RIA and client-side (re-)push.
Along those lines, we spend a lot of time detailing the re-written plugin that’s used for Java applets and JavaFX, the improved installer and update experience, and other client side features like one of the new GUI look-n-feels, Nimbus.
Update 10 is available now. Also, check out Danny’s The Planetarium, his daily, but fantastically concise news-link blog.
(I’m cross posting this from the general RedMonk Radio podcast because this interview with Sun’s Danny Coward touches on RIA topics pretty heavily, that is, JavaFX. Enjoy!)
Disclosure: Sun is a client and sponsored this podcast.
