Yahoo BOSS and JavaFX
A couple of hours ago I finished a new article about Yahoo's BOSS API. I enjoyed writing the article and have to admit that Yahoo did a great job and gave us developers a really useful API to work with.
Furthermore I discovered the world of JavaFX, Sun's answer to Microsoft Silverlight and Adobe Flash which is announced to be delivered by Fall 2008. Since end of July a preview of the JavaFX SDK, as well as the appropriate plugin for NetBeans 6.1 is available for download. Quite disappointing is that there is currently no support for Linux or Solaris, but referring to a Comment in the official JavaFX Blog by Sun they will continue to "evaluate" support for other operating systems than Windows and Macintosh. Hopefully there will at least be a version of JavaFX when 1.0 is released.
