Java SE 6 Update 10 - I’ve talked with several reporters today on Update 10. The key thing here is fixing and improving the bad reputation that client-side Java has, laying the necessary foundation for JavaFX to be competitive. There’s nothing too interesting about foundations, but the house they build on-top should be fun to watch. Also, check out the interview with Danny Coward I did on the topic.
I end up giving a mini-strategy overview for RIA adoption for Adobe, Sun, and Microsoft. You can expect Microsoft and Sun to sell to their existing developer pools, as Microsoft’s Scott Guthrie spoke to at AJAXWorld. Adobe, on the other hand, must go after everyone: .Net, Java, PHP, “open web,” hell, why not green screen?
I talked with Cassatt last week and give a brief overview of their automation platform. Their “shut down un-utilized servers to save energy” is a good example of selling water instead of dental-floss. Check out the capacity management piece by Ken Oestreich that I mentioned.
Also, Rogue Wave has a multi-core, parallel processing framework called Hydra that I talked with them about last week.
While I didn’t get to very many sessions at last week’s InnoTech here in Austin, I did go to one with an old friend of mine, Mumboe’s Scott Diedrick, on rails, which was interesting, if only to get the current explanations of why rails is nice.
