At our June, 2012 meeting, Roger Brinkley will talk about Java FX on the 19th at CME.

From Oracle’s Java web site: JavaFX is the next step in the evolution of Java as a rich client platform. It is designed to provide a lightweight, hardware-accelerated Java UI platform for enterprise business applications. With JavaFX, developers can preserve existing investments by reusing Java libraries in their applications. They can even access native system capabilities, or seamlessly connect to server-based middleware applications.

Roger Brinkley is host of the weekly Java Spotlight Podcast and a Java Developer Advocate. He is part of the Evangelism team in the Java Platform Group at Oracle, was a member of Sun’s Open Source Group, and serves as a Track Lead for the JavaOne Program Committee. He has more than 30 years of industry experience with over 16 years at Sun and Oracle serving as a developer and community leader for Java core, desktop and mobile environments. He is a frequent speaker at technical conferences around the world.
