JavaOne, Talk and Signing Sessions

Chet and I will be presenting Filthy Rich Clients at JavaOne once again this year. We are excited and happily surprised by the high number of pre-registrations for our talk, the room is almost full already! However, if you plan on attending this session, make sure you check your schedule as Sun decided to move Filthy Rich Clients from Tuesday to Thursday late afternoon, to make room for some JavaFX thingies.

Also, we will be at the bookstore for a signing session. After our session, from 5:15pm to 5:45pm, if you have a copy of Filthy Rich Clients and would like us to scribble on it, come by and we’ll be happy to deface your book.

I will also probably spend some time at the Google booth where you can always stop by to chat about Google related stuff.

Graphics Benchmark

Chet just wrote a very interesting blog about graphics benchmark, and BubbleMark in particular, used to compare various RIA runtimes performance. I highly recommend reading it.

NewsFire for Free

David Watanabe just decided to release NewsFire free of charge for Mac OS X. NewsFire is my favorite RSS client: simple, clean and good looking.

What do you want to hear about?

Chet and I are going to present another installment of Filthy Rich Clients at JavaOne 2008. We have a bunch of cool ideas for techniques and demos we would like to show you but I am very interested in hearing what you want to know about. If you have any visual effect, animation or graphics technique you would like to learn, please tell me and we’ll try to put it in our presentation.
