Sun Microsystems today announced a preview release of the JavaFX SDK. I’ve been observing this new entrant into the RIA space from the outside but today I thought it was time to dig in a little bit. So I got my hands on the latest Netbeans wit JavaFx support and cooked up this little Hello World application ..

It use to be simpler than this. For example,

Frame {
title: “Hello World JavaFX”
width: 200
height: 50
content: Label {
text: “Hello World”
}
visible: true
}

I noticed this yesterday when I created a Frame in Netbeans,

stage: Stage {

}

still learning here … but I’m hoping that they don’t move away from the simplicity that was first visioned and they can stay on par with lingo that’s easily recognizable by a ui designer. Adding stuff that a programmer would only understand will seriously detract from the usability aspect and not to mention the ability to clearly see the relationship between layout and code.
