 ,
 ,
 ,
 )
There are 14 new presentations on Techdays net.
As usual, some are very interesting (for me):
Java Game Development:
* Java 3D (high level, scene grah)
* Java for OpenGL (low level, collision detection, ...),
* OpenAL (spacialised audio),
* JInput (Joystick, game pads...),
* Layers, Sprites,
* GameCanvas
* Mobile: media API, 3D,
* Java game server: first time I heard of this. Maybe its because I'm not enough in this business
Advanced wireless programming:
* J2MEWTK 2.2,
* MDIP 2.0 (SSL, HTTPS, sockets, push, OTA, ),
* WMA, MMA, 3D,
* Bluetooth (Obex, discovery)
* Sprites,
* GameCanvas,
* speed accross different devices
Java on the Desktop
* easier layout: goodbye good old GridBagLayout
* table sorting: how many of you did implement this before Sun did it?
* performance: who's faster, Swing or SWT? if you ask me, when comparing Eclipse 3.1 and Netbeans 4.1 on different platforms, Netbeans wins
* effects: ah, Sun foudn out where the success of flash is coming from
* Open source: JDIC & JDNC: applause Sun, this is the way to go. But make sure it works on all platforms (Windows, Solaris, *nix, MacOS). Get Apple and IBM and other global players (SAP) in the boat and ask them to help you supporting all platforms
* Other things: * SwingWorker, native look&feel, text quality, hardware acceleration, data binding,
But please Sun: make it easy. Sometimes Java API's are such complete and abstract that they became unusable
Open source (OS)
* what is it not (or not limited to): OS != open standard, OS != Linux,
* "Destktop Linux is seeing maasive worldwide deployments"
* OS history: 50s shareable software, 70s hacking/BSD/Tex, 80s gnu/fsf/perl, 90s Linux/apache/Mozilla/. Also don't forget the internet
* there are many interesting opinions in this article, everybody should read it carefully
Other interesting (for me) articles:
* Performance tuning
*
