I really "wan't" JavaFX to take off and Java to make a comeback on the client. I think it still has things to offer.
However just wanting it to happen doesn't mean it will. Maybe I should just learn Flash given I now have the tools. What I have seen of Action script makes me think it is a pretty dumbed down developer experience compared to Java (or C# for that matter) thought Flash has the upper hand with the artistic side and the fact it is all linked together with a complete creative suite. Apple seems to be trying to kill flash too though and no-one can argue that Flash isn't successful. One thing I know I don't want is I don't want to develop rich apps using HTML5 and JavaScript. I find Web Development a big bag of pain and don't believe HTML is going to live up to the hype. Covertly to wanting JavaFX to succeed but being realistic that it may not I don't want HTML5 to succeed in becoming the only way of doing things but feel like this is more likely to be forced on us. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
