J1 Session Blog: Pro JavaFX Platform (RIA Enterprise Application Development with JavaFX Technology)
 |
JavaFX is still in its early beginnings and despite of version 1.2 having been released this week it will take some time before it is ready for heavy duty enterprise applications. Hence, the session title sounded very attractive to me.
Did I miss something with JavaFX? But what a disappointment! The speakers (Jim Weaver and Stephen Chin) did not get beyond explaining basic features of JavaFX. I got the impression that the closest these guys ever have come to an enterprise application was in the range of lightyears. They did not cover the topic of how complex presentation logic should be handled in a JavaFX application, at all.
Nor did they mention how to implement complex forms, achieve a uniform look and feel in a suite of applications etc. They once mentioned MVC but it seemed to me that they had no clue of the implications of MVC in a complex enterprise application.
At least I can’t complain too much since this was the first disappointing session after almost two days full of sessions at JavaOne, which is quite good for JavaOne or any other conference.
