Javafx in Action, 9781933988993 (1933988991), Manning Publications, 2009
I suppose for many it was just another unremarkable mid-May Wednesday; certainly I don’t recall the weather making any effort to surprise. What might have made the day slightly memorable for some, perhaps, was that Manchester United was playing Chelsea in the final of the ultra-prestigious soccer European Champions League. A couple of days earlier I’d returned from a few weeks’ sampling of random pubs and music clubs in North America, starting in Los Angeles (actually, starting in Dublin, Ireland, but I’ll not complicate the story) and ending in Vancouver. Now I sat in front of my TV, hoping, somewhat optimistically, for a 3–0 destruction of United, to round off the perfect holiday.

And that’s when the phone rang.

Mike Stephens, associate publisher at Manning Publications, was on the other end. Earlier that day he’d emailed me to request a one-to-one, and, bang!, on the agreed time, there he was! Over the next 60 minutes or so I hardly noticed any of the game. We talked about Java and the way the industry was going, and inevitably the topic drifted toward JavaFX. At that time JavaFX was still in an embryonic state: features were being added, evaluated, and then modified or dropped. Anything and everything could change with each prototype release. Yet, to me at least, the ideas behind JFX showed great promise. If enough backing was put behind the project, and with a fair wind to guide it, I thought JavaFX had the potential to really shake up the whole front-end (user-facing) rich internet application market. With those sentiments in mind, some weeks earlier, I’d blogged about my early experiences—good and bad— with the platform on java.net.
