And, he’s back!
Kick the tires and light the fires, baby!
Unknownst to my readers (and to me too, honestly), I decided to take a year hiatus from this site. I can’t come up with a decent excuse for not posting, so I won’t even try. Just know that I’m back in action now and don’t plan on leaving ever again. Read more
10 Minute Tutorial - JavaFX: Basic 2D Graphics and Animation
Update:
I have updated this tutorial for JavaFX 1.0
JavaFX, due to its declarative syntax, empowers developers with the ability to quickly build engaging user-interfaces that leverage eye-popping effects and animation to deliver a deeper, more visceral experience. But, you’ve got to learn to walk before you run 
so this tutorial will explore JavaFX’s basic animation concepts by creating a simple slide show containing various shapes. For added fun, each slide will have the ability to rotate.

Channel 9 video review: Tyler Ballance - live from the SilverlightDevCamp in San Francisco
It looks like Microsoft has found a new victim in their continuing onslaught of consistently excellent, impromptu developer interviews. This time Adam Kinney puts the spotlight on Tyler Ballance, an employee of the picture slide show company, Slide (if you’ve read any number of MySpace profiles and bulletins, then you’ve definitely seen their logo). This young man, seemingly reluctant at first, but opening up once the technical questions started flowing, discusses the San Fransico SilverlightDevCamp and gives his opinion on how programming in Flash compares to Silverlight.
