He has served as a system architect and developer for over 25 years, specializing in leading-edge software development. His specialties include Java, object-oriented, and web-based technologies. He has authored books on the Java programming language, including most recently JavaFX Script, published by Apress.
There were several JavaFX-related announcements and demos at JavaOne, not the least of which is the preview release of the JavaFX SDK due in June 2008. As the interpreted version of JavaFX was the prototype for the compiled version, the javafx.ui classes are the prototype for the java...
Kevin Nilson, the leader of the Silicon Valley Web Developer JUG, relayed to me the idea of creating an application in JavaFX Script that consists of a wheel that has the names of JUG attendees on it. The wheel would revolve and land on a name, who would then receive a prize. Today's ...
To wish you Happy Holidays (and if you'll permit me, a very merry Christmas) I wrote this Compiled JavaFX Script Applet (that executes in a browser). For fast deployment I used the latest version of Java SE 6 Update 10 (formerly known as Java SE Update N, formerly known as Consumer JRE...
In the last two days lots of compiled JavaFX Script features became functional, including many of the UI components, and much of the graphics functionality. I would like to publicly extend my thanks and appreciation to the talented and diligent JavaFX Script Compiler team for achieving...
As I've mentioned before, compiled JavaFX Script is currently under development, and one of the last pieces of the puzzle is the UI features. Currently there are a few UI features that are operational in the compiled version, for example Frame, BorderPanel and Button. Fortunately, the ...
As I mentioned in my post a week ago, this JavaFX Puzzler will require writing a compiled JavaFX Script program. In subsequent posts on my Learning JavaFX weblog, I've provided instructions for using the OpenJFX Compiler to compile a JavaFX Script program into Java bytecode, and to run...
Today, I'm going to explain how to save some steps by downloading the latest build of the OpenJFX Compiler rather than building it on your machine. If you decided not to build the compiler because it looked like a hassle, then relax - this is a lot easier. Just follow the instructions ...

The next JavaFX Puzzler will be posted at 18:00 GMT (1:00PM EST) on Wednesday, November 28, 2007. It will be a compiled JavaFX Script puzzler, so you'll need to build the JavaFX Script Compiler in order to participate in the Puzzler. To help prepare you for the Puzzler, I'd like to yo...
There are several environments in which you can develop and run JavaFX Script programs. I'd like to help you become a JavaFX Script programmer in the next few minutes, so I'm going to show you the fastest route that I know of to get there, which includes using a tool that Sun created c...
One of the very useful (and cool) features of compiled JavaFX Script will be closures. In a nutshell, JavaFX Script closures provide the ability to define a function within another function with the inner function having access to the local variables of the outer function. This feature...
