Gluon will be making its way to JavaOne this year, with four representatives making the pilgrimage. Johan Vos, Eugene Ryzhikov, Jonathan Giles, and José Pereda will be on site, with Johan, Eugene, and José presenting on Gluon-specific topics. For those of you attending JavaOne this year, please come along to our sessions – we look forward to talking to you about how Gluon can help solve your problems. Feel free to chat to us anytime in the conference halls (the best part of any conference!) – we’ll be the ones wearing the Gluon logo proudly on our shirts.
Our sessions at NetBeans Day:
Firstly, Johan and José will be presenting at NetBeans day on the Sunday, alongside with Java luminary James Gosling.
James Gosling, Robots, the Raspberry Pi, and Small Devices
Sunday, October 25th @ Midday
James Gosling recently stated that “being able to debug and profile robots out at sea is a truly life-altering experience.” He uses a set of tools—consisting of editors, debuggers, and profilers—that are part of the NetBeans IDE.
In this session, Gosling and other speakers introduce you to these tools and you will see how easily and quickly you can program and interact with devices via Java tools. Come find out how well integrated embedded devices are with the Java ecosystem.
Java on Your Phone!
Sunday, October 25th @ 4:30pm
Java is everywhere…but also on your phone? Is Android the only answer for Java on your phone? What about JavaFX? And what about other solutions?
This session introduces you to a range of Java-related projects targeting mobile devices. Learn how you can leverage your Java skills in mobile development today.
After NetBeans Day starts the JavaOne conference, and we are certainly represented there too! Here’s the session details for our sessions at JavaOne itself:
Our sessions at JavaOne:
JavaFX on Mobile and Embedded: Status and Future Plans [CON6649]
Thursday, October 29th @ 9:00am
Johan Vos, CTO, Cloud Products, Gluon
One of the huge benefits of JavaFX is that it enables the development of Java client applications on a large variety of devices, ranging from desktops and tablets to smartphones and embedded devices. For desktop clients, Oracle distributes only JavaFX development kits and runtime environments. Via the JavaFXPorts initiative, the community creates and distributes SDKs (including runtime environments) for Android, iOS, and embedded. All SDKs are built with the same OpenJFX code that also powers JavaFX on the desktop. This session shows the current state of JavaFX on mobile and embedded and previews future plans. Expect simple demos as well as complex applications running on tablets, smartphones, and embedded devices.
Gluon: JavaFX for the (Mobile) Enterprise [CON3572]
Thursday, October 29th @ 10:30am
Eugene Ryzhikov, CTO, Client Products, Gluon
Johan Vos, CTO, Cloud Products, Gluon
Gluon enables developers to create an end-to-end solution that offers a first-class user experience on desktop, mobile (iOS and Android), and embedded devices and that integrates with data synchronization and cloud services. The entirely Java-based technology allows for one code base for all devices. Gluon also provides IDE plugins and is responsible for continued development of the JavaFX Scene Builder tool to accelerate developers’ work. This session shows how you can create enterprise JavaFX applications that run on a range of devices. Gluon technology is partially open source, so a large part of the presentation covers how developers can make use of this technology at no cost and how they can get involved.
One Codebase to Rule Them All: Going Mobile with 2048FX [CON3255]
Thursday, October 29th @ 10:30am
Jens Deters, Senior IT Consultant, codecentric AG
José Pereda, Dr. Industrial Engineer, Gluon
Although JavaFX enables Java developers to create client applications with compelling user interfaces, the market tendencies are going to mobile and the web. JavaFXPorts is an open source project that enables JavaFX developers to package and deploy their desktop applications on mobile devices with minor changes. This session tells the story of the 2048FX application and how a nice desktop game application became a mobile app available on the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store. Attendees will see all the steps required to create a JavaFX application that runs on desktop and mobile devices and how native interaction can be added to each platform. Useful guidelines are provided for successfully distributing applications on the major app stores.
