There's still tons you can learn with today's SDK. Take a look at some of the stuff at www.jfxstudio.org, which is entirely community driven. And keep in mind our developer contest ends May 29th, *before* JavaOne, so if you want to enter you need to get started now. > As for Swing: I really like Swing and was also very exited about > the "filthy rich" book when it came out.

The UI controls are being built by a team of people with many years of Swing experience. We have learned the lessons of Swing and other UI toolkits and applied them to this new set. A big desire with JavaFX is to answer the question: what if you could write a new UI system from scratch, without worrying about Java syntax, AWT legacy, and the constraints of Windows 98 era computers. I think you'll be happy. - Josh --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
