sun-javafx-demo-and-tutorals

I start seeing some good JavaFX applications appearing on the web. Here are some of them.

Canno Music Pinboard

This is so far the most impressive JavaFX demo application. Without knowing JavaFX’s existence, you would definitely think it’s a Flash application. I think Sun does made a great contribution to the RIA world. Considering the huge Java developer base and mature application usages, especially the great J2ME installation base on mobile devices, Adobe Flash finds a strong competitor. It’s interesting to read all the major media are focusing on JavaFX vs AJAX. It shows how blindly the big media just follow the scripts from the vendors without knowing what they are talking about. Sun does only strongly refers its JavaFX technology along with AJAX. Wondering why’s that.
