Canoo at JavaOne 2008
Jim Weaver has posted a list of Java FX sessions at JavaOne 2008.
The list includes a Canoo session by Dierk König and Mike Mannion:
Session title:
Going Mobile with JavaFX™ Script Technology, Groovy, and Google Android
Session abstract:
Since the 2007 JavaOne℠ conference, the JavaFX™ Script technology-based application MusicPinboard has been justifiably cited by many (including Sun) as a significant demonstration of the power of JavaFX Script technology as well as a radical improvement over Java™ technology in terms of developer productivity.
One year on, in this session, one of the original team of first-time JavaFX Script technology users that knocked out the sexy-looking MusicPinboard application in just 20 developer-days shares his thoughts about what kind of audience JavaFX Script technology is likely appeal to, today and in the future. In addition, he offers objective comparisons with some rising competitors in what he calls the RIA/mobile space:
- Groovy, which has in recent months encroached on the JavaFX Script technology space by including a data binding mechanism as part of its Swing GUI Builder
- Google’s prototype Android platform, which the global giant hopes to position as the platform of choice for providers of high-end mobile device and business applications alike
The speaker argues that each of the solutions described embodies a different vision of how the mobile experience will evolve in the near future and that the time frame may be shorter than we think when it comes to seeing which technology gains the upper hand.
Canoo is exhibiting at booth #429.
