Filthy Rich Clients now available on Safari We've kept a close watch on Filthy Rich Clients, the GUI book that java.net bloggers Chet Haase and Romain Guy have been working on for the last year or so. Along with the authors' prominence on the site, it's also high on our radar for being the first book to cover some of the cutting-edge projects in the Java Desktop community, such as the Timing Framework, which gets two chapters in FRC. As you might imagine, the authors are relieved and overjoyed that the book is now available in its entirety. Printed copies will be available in a few weeks, and the online version is up now, as Chet reports in Final Filthy Content on Safari. "The publisher has posted the final content of Filthy Rich Clients to the Safari online book site. For anyone that was not satisfied with the typos and formatting of the Rough Cut and is eager for book before it's available in print in mid-August, have at it." But what if you're not a Safari customer? Never fear. Visit the java.net Safari site for a 10-day-or-50-pages trial. That'll give you a deep dig into Filthy Rich Clients, and from there you can either sign up for Safari and read the whole book now, or order the paper version for delivery when it's ready. And once again, congrats to Chet and Romain. 552 pages... dang! Also in today's Weblogs, James Stauffer kicks off a dialogue about Little-known but great IDE's. "Most people haven't heard about "Source Insight" but I like it. Do you use a little-known IDE and why do you like it?" Aran Gupta has an entry on jMaki on Rails - Updated for NetBeans 6 M10. "Based upon a user request, this is a follow up entry to show how jMaki on Rails For Dummies work on NetBeans 6 Milestone 10. Some of the steps are simplified and more details are provided." In the big picture, SOA is really the latest effort in a decades-long quest to achieve software reusability. In our Feature Article, SOA Reusability: Shrinking the Lag between Business and IT , Mehul J. argues that the key is not in the IT department, but rather in enabling business analysts to directly reconfigure systems built on SOA.
In today's Forums,
In Java Today, a What's new list on the JavaFX project page lists some of the new features available in the July 2007 release. These features include Casual, a demo of an InstantMessaging (IM) client written in JavaFX Script; SVG to JavaFX Translator, which converts an SVG document into a single JavaFX class; and updated JavaFX plugins for NetBeans 5.5 and NetBeans 6.0 (M9 and beyond) releases. Gregory Pierce has kicked off a lengthy discussion among JavaLobby readers by asking them What Happened to Object Databases?" haven't always been interested in object databases because with frameworks like Hibernate and now JPA one can usually bind object data to a database fairly easily. But there are times when you have some esoteric construct (n-dimensional arrays) which don't map readily to a relational database that I start to really think back to what the world would be like if object databases actually didn't go the way of the dodo. So, are there people out there really using object databases?" The SDN article Sun Java EE Engine: Bridging Java EE Web Services and JBI Components describes "the synergy between the Sun Java EE Engine (formerly Java EE Service Engine) and Java EE in the Java Business Integration (JBI) environment." It covers the concepts and features of the Sun Java EE Engine and, through examples, illustrates how to use it in a JBI composite application. Current and upcoming Java Events :
