JavaFX 2.0 Early Access and Beta Program

JavaFX 2.0 Early Access is available for the JavaFX Partners, the JUG Leaders, and the Java Champions.

I'm not a JavaFX Partner, nor a JUG Leader or a Java Champion (even with my last name ;) ), but in the form to sign up to participate in the Early Access and Beta program there is an item "Other".

So, because i'm a JavaFX enthusiast, I signed up as "Other" …

And may be, with a little luck, I could have an access to the Early Access and Beta Program !

Some tips for newbies developers on Android 2.2 (like me)

The tips are :

• Know the devices which are connected
• Deploy your application on real devices
• Deploy your application on SD Card
• Know the location (internal or SD Card) of your application and move it or stop it

RESTful client in JavaScript

In the line of my posts regarding consumption of JSON RESTful services in different technologies (JavaFX, Java), I wrote a small client in JavaScript.
As in my previous posts, I use the RESTful service described in RESTful service with JAX-RS (and JPA 2 for the access to the data.

RESTful client in Java

Because JavaFX 2.0 will be a Java API, we shall have to use Java (or Groovy, Scala, JRuby,etc ... but this isn't the purpose  of this post) instead of JavaFX Script for use it.
And because, the news UIs creates with JavaFX 2.0 will have to consume RESTtful JSON services, I wrote a small RESTful client in Java.
To do that, I use the JAXB's implementation for JSON from Jersey and for the RESTful service to be consume, the RESTful service wrote in an old post: RESTful service with JAX-RS (and JPA 2 for the access to the data)

Arcade Fire, Html 5, Google Chrome Experiment

It’s not because I’m a big fan of Arcade Fire (Great Show at Rock en Seine, even under the rain) that I speak you of their last "clip", but I think it's a great demo of what we can make with html 5.

RESTful client in JavaFX

In this second part, we are going to create a small application in JavaFX to call the restful service created in the first part.

This small application is the same as the one created in an older post : JavaFX and JPA 2.0 with my custom component, but instead of call directly the database with the help of an entity, we are going to call the restful service.

To create this application, we are going to create :

·         a Music JavaFX Bean as model

·         a client to the RESTFul services (and its JSON parser)

·         an JavaFX User Interface
