GrooveShark Comming to iPhone

One of the greatest Apps on the iPhone is Pandora. Pandora offers free streaming radio. They use your positive or negative feedback as a method of filtering songs you wouldn't like.

So apparently, I have heard news that GrooveShark (a Pandora competitor) is planning to release their own iPhone app. GrooveShark is a little late in the game, but it will be interesting what improvements they will support compared to the Pandora app. I will be checking the headlines.

JavaFX Demonstration @ GatorJUG

Gainesville, Florida was fortunate enough to have Jim Clarke (Principle Engineer at SUN) on hand to give a demonstration of JavaFX. We had about 12 people on hand. (Pictures Below)

His talk was unique because instead of going through slides, after pizza, he simply set up a laptop and began coding examples. He worked through how to set up a JavaFX application and got everybody familiar with the coding. It was fairly interactive - we went well into the night answering questions ranging from "Will this work on the iPhone" to "whats the difference between JavaFX and javaFX mobile."

One of the best demos he showed is displayed online. It is a draggable MP3 player. Basically, it is a java MP3 player that starts in your browser and is able to be dragged and your browser closed. This is similar to yahoo widgets, the widgets in vista, or the widgets that come with google desktop.

Jim has a book that is coming out in June (I think). It is called JavaFX-Developing Rich Internet Applications.
