Rich Internet Applications (RIA) do require a strong service access
and data access layer located on the back-end, just as traditional or
web based applications. It is therefore essential to combine desktop
technologies and server technologies in order to provide fast,
efficient and secure access to your data. This talk will teach how to
combine desktop technologies, such as JavaFX technologies, and back-
end technologies, like web services and REST based services to build
state of the art desktop applications. We will use the following
technologies: RESTful web service and JSR 310 (Jersey) API on the
server side, JavaFX on the client side. The JavaFX application will
asynchronously poll RESTful web services to collect data that will be
used to dynamically update the client rich UI.

Hands-On Training

After the 1st halftime, we propose a hands-on training. Everyone is
invited to bring long a laptop with Netbeans 6.91, Glassfish and
JavaFX SDK installed (see wiki). If wished, we can make teams of 2-3
persons. Every team will develop simple application doing JavaFX –
REST – Java EE.

So please don’t forget your laptop, and if you have a multi-outlet
power strip at hand, we don’t mind neither :)

Let’s do JavaFX from the zero to hero in one evening :)
