Jfokus is over, and it was a very positive experience, although with a booth, a brand new presentation and an article in the JayView magazine distributed to all attendees, it was also a bit draining. Thanks to everybody who saw our presentation (we’d love to hear what you thought about it) and/or stopped by our booth. We had a great time, and we hope you did too!

Right now we’re spending all free time preparing for our presentation at JFokus on wednesday, and it’s really coming together nicely. Like we’ve said before, this presentation (called JavaFX: Designer – Developer Workflow) is kind of a different from our previous ones. Using Photoshop, NetBeans and the tools from the JavaFX Production Suite, we’ll actually create a simple but good looking application from scratch during the presentation. Hopefully we’ll be able to show our audience how easy it is for designers and developers to collaborate on rich user interfaces using JavaFX and the JavaFX Production Suite, and what kind of results you can achieve in less than an hour. Live coding is always a bad idea, and we’re throwing in some live Photoshop wizardry as well, this should be exciting for all of us 
Just a quick note to let you know that we’ve been accepted as speakers at JFokus in january, with our presentation JavaFX – Designer Developer Workflow. We had a great time there last year, though we were struck by the weird timing bug we’ve been writing about before during our presentation. This year, our beloved employer Epsilon is an official conference partner, and we’re looking forward to see you in our booth, where you can win some sweet prizes by participating in our robot battle programming competition!
We just found out we’ve been accepted as speakers at Scandinavian Developer Conference 2010. We’ve heard a lot of good things about the conference, so we’re really looking forward to going there. We actually got two presentations accepted, the first one, called JavaFX – Designer Developer Workflow, is kind of a different introduction to JavaFX. It doesn’t focus on the actual JavaFX script language, but on how designers and developers can work together with a JavaFX project. In the second presentation, called Making data look good using Java, JavaFX and Groovy, we’ll show off our latest project, codenamed Knut. We’ll demonstrate the application, talk about how we developed some of its features, and share some valuable lessons learned.
Hats off to the SDC crew, who have (almost) finished a detailed conference schedule four months before the conference!
Now it’s only one day left until we get to get up ridiculously early, stand in way too many lines at various airport, and hopefully end up safe in San Francisco. I’m not that excited about the flight from Frankfurt to San Francisco, flights shouldn’t have to take a two-digit number of hours. I’ve bought a big battery for my little netbook, but I really hope to sleep through as much of the flight as possible. We aren’t super prepared for our talk yet, but we have some time to rehearse in San Francisco, and we’re both pretty confident that we’ll be ready well in time for thursday.
The last few days we’ve fixed the problem that prevented Feedjii from running on OS X, but our solution isn’t perfect yet. As we’ll probably be busy preparing for our talk in San Francisco, I wouldn’t count on a new beta release until we’re back home again. Feel free to drop us an e-mail if you’re going to JavaOne and feel like meeting up. I’m sure we’ll have time for a beer or two, despite our busy schedule
Our JavaOne presentation has now been assigned to a time slot in the conference schedule. Here are the details:
ID#: TS-5072
Title: Swing Rocks: A Tribute to Filthy-Rich Clients
Date: 04-JUN-09
Time: 09:30 AM-10:30 AM
Room: Hall E 135
Please note that the room assignment isn’t final, it might change based on the number of attendees who pre-roll. We really hope to see you there!
Yup, it’s true, our presentation got accepted for JavaOne, so in a few short months we’re going to San Francisco! We’re thrilled about this, and we will spend the spring fine tuning Feedjii and our presentation. I’m personally most concerned about the language (english that is, not Java), my english used to be pretty good, but now it’s a bit rusty. I’m thinking about creative ways to practice, but I guess nothing beats meeting actual native speakers. Our presentation isn’t scheduled yet, but we’ll let you know about the time and date as soon as we know it. For now, all I can say that if you’re in San Francisco between the 1st and 5th of june, you know where to find us!
We’ll probably write a lot about our preparations here, and now you can follow us on Twitter as well. Have a nice weekend!
Our presentation at JFokus was haunted by some technical problems, which embarassingly enough caused very poor performance in Feedjii. Ouch! Despite this, we got very positive feedback, and we’re looking forward to having a pint and discussing Java GUI’s more in-depth at the conference pub tonight. For now, we’re just relaxing and enjoying the other speakers’ presentations.
Next week it’s time for the third annual JFokus conference in Stockholm. We’ll be there to hold the full version of our lightning talk from Øredev, called Swing Rocks – A beautiful example. With 45 minutes instead of 15, we’ll have a lot of time to show you how to get started with Swing/Java2D programming. For those of you who have worked with Swing and Java2D before, we’ll talk a bit about performance and hardware acceleration, and provide some general tips and tricks. Hopefully there will be something for everyone to enjoy, so don’t miss out! We’re looking forward to see you there!
Please note that this presentation will be held in Swedish.
Today the good people organizing the JFokus conference confirmed that we’ve been accepted as speakers for JFokus 2009. The conference is divided into one university day and one conference day, and will take place in Stockholm on the 27-28 of january. It’s got quite an impressive lineup of speakers (especially now that we’re in it!), so don’t hesitate to go there if you get the chance.
So, just when we thought we’d finally have time for some R&R after Øredev, we’ll have to start implementing some new cool effects for our presentation. We can’t really complain though, we love what we’re doing, and talking at these conferences is a real blast. Expect to see all the goodies from Øredev, and then some!
Looking forward to see you there!
