In this episode, Ryan and I are joined by Sun’s Danny “The Janitor” Coward to follow-up on last week’s JavaFX news (be sure to check out Danny’s excellent The Planetarium for fine Java client news).
As you can imagine, we talk about JavaFX for the first part of the show. As Danny is at Devoxx (née Javapolis) we ask him about the RIA talk going on there as well. We then briefly talk about what’s going in on Java 7, the next major version of Java.
In this context, I talk again about one of my favorite emerging RIAs, Bluray add-ons and networked applications, like those found on Disney’s Sleeping Beauty Bluray release which I saw a talk about at this week’s Cisco C-Scape.
In the news portion of the show we go over:
- Appcelerator’s release of Titanium, an AIR competitor.
- The Adobe/SpringSource partnership around hooking up AMF to the Java would via the Spring Framework.
- Google Native Client of which Ryan and I are a bit perplexed by, but then Danny (I believe) helps us out by pointing out it’s just another platform for application deployment.
- Microsoft MIX is tragically scheduled to over-lap over SXSW Music this year. That said, as I advice, you should start working on your justifications to expense a trip to SXSW interactive this year to hang out with – I mean, “network” with – the round-corner cool kids who do all your RIA thought leadership and use. Feel free to contact me if you need some advice – really!
