Quick starts for AIR, Silverlight, and JavaFX
By Alexey Gavrilov on August 28, 2007
Yesterday DevX.com published my article Crash Course in Next-Gen RIA: AIR, Silverlight, and JavaFX. It provides a quick introduction to these technologies by showing how to build a simple stopwatch gadget with each if them (see the screenshot below).

This is my first experience writing for a magazine (right, it’s online only but still a very different genre from blogging) and overall I think it was the great exercise. I learned JavaFX basics while working on it, and built JavaFX version of the bubblemark consequently.

Wow, i loved this comparison… and the good thing is: Before your article i only knew about Silverlight and Air… i was not aware of JavaFX so far, but now i am *g* Thx

Irgendwie ist der Markt der Rich Internet Applications (RIA) im Moment etwas verwirrend für mich. Vielleicht, weil ich mich erst seit der Erkenntnis, dass Silverlight irgendwie klasse aber andererseits irgendwie auch sehr nah an Flash ist, damit inten…
