Meeting Location:
Washtenaw Community College, WCC ML 101

PRESENTATION:
===========

Java SE is on over 90% of desktops and Java ME is on over 90% of mobile phones.
Java is also making a big dent in the consumer space such as set top boxes, Blu
Ray Disc players and so on. Despite the ubiquity of Java technologies it would
take significant enhancements to ease Java deployment and be entrenched in the
consumer market.

This session starts with an introduction to GUI development with JavaFX Script, an object-oriented, declarative Java scripting language. JavaFX Script is a
statically typed language that allows good integrated development environment (IDE) support and compile-time error reporting and has type inference, declarative syntax, and automatic data binding with full support for 2-D graphics and standard Swing components as well as declarative animation.

JavaFX script will be followed with the features that are being explored to create a
more consumer-friendly JRE that eases deployment and installation. The features that
are being looked into will ease start-up time, provide a quick launch, on demand
installation and so on.

After attending this session attendees should be able to walk away with a good
understanding of where the Java SE platform is headed and how it should ease their
development and deployment concerns.

Drupal was powerful, but Wordpress is way easier to administer, so we have changed our web site. Please be patient while we move stuff over here.
