Talking about / Presenting JavaFX

I am going to talk about / introduce / present JavaFX to small audience of about 10 Java developers for about half an hour.
What do you feel should I be talking about?
I was thinking about these topics:
- History and Roadmap of JavaFX (including v1)
- Pros and cons (maybe compared to other technologies)
- Datastructures (e.g. ObservableList)
- Properties and Binding
- FXML
- Going through the Samples (Ensemble.jar)
- Scene Builder (only mention it, never worked with it yet)
- maybe some small live coding sample (do you have an idea?)
- maybe some sample with CellFactories.
What do you think and are there any other (fundamental) topics my audience should know about?
Deployment, WebStart (though I never got in touch with that)?

Half an hour is a short time - it will go very quick - pick and choose your topics.
History is past, forget about that, talk about what you can do today - don't even mention the roadmap until the end and then only if you have time - the roadmap is increasingly in need of a refresh as most of the stuff on it has been done and a lot of stuff being done isn't on it.
Demo cool stuff - everybody likes to see cool stuff.
Ensemble and SceneBuilder are pretty cool stuff - so is WebView and the Graphs.
Don't show ColorfulCircles type demos to a bunch of enterprise developers - designers, game devs, etc are another matter.
Cell Factories are pretty involved, you might get yourself in a tangle talking about them.
Layout is an important topic.
Leave the pros and cons till towards the ends, and ask the audience for what they think the pros and cons (and the other technologies) are and draw them up on a whiteboard - axing out the myths and pointing out the unseen roadblocks as you go . . .
Live code samples => a media player (native + youtube html5 h264), a graph, a webview, something which shows off the scenegraph.
You can just showcode on some Ensemble samples if that's easier.
Don't talk about stuff you haven't touched.
Deployment is challenging to talk about well, and to do well, I guess if you wanted you could just give it a quick once-over so that the audience knows what their options are.
Rehearse - make it seem easy, effortless and powerful - the presentation and the technology - get people excited :-)

Camcorder Steve was Talking about l....

What brand/model was the camcorder Steve was talking about in his presentation? I am in the market for a new camcorder anyway and want to check it out, especially if it works hand in hand with iMovie, since thats what I will be using to edit my videos.

My itunes want let me download free apps its talking about my billing information!

My itunes want let me download free apps its talking about my billing information why?

Hello Deangelo,
Thank you for the question. It sounds like you do not want to add a credit card to your Apple ID.
I suggest updating your billing information to "None" using the steps in the section titled "Change your payment information on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch" in the following article:
iTunes Store: Changing your payment information
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1918
If you are not seeing the "None" option when updating your billing information, I recommend the following article:
Why can’t I select None when I edit my payment information?

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

How do you get Itunes to go the free radio station list, I'm not talkiing about the one that lists the price next to the song that's playing, I'm talking about the one that lists about 50 diffrent genes.

How do you get Itunes to go to the free radio station list, I'm not talking about the one that lists the price next to the song that's playing, I'm talking about the one that gives you 50 diffrent genes to select from?

This forum is for questions from those managing sites on iTunes U, Apple's service for colleges and universities to post educational material in the iTunes Store. You'll be most likely to get help with this issue if you ask in the general iTunes forums.
But answering quickly, if you mean the streaming stations, click the Internet item:
If you don't see that item, checkmark "Internet Radio" in the General preferences in iTunes.

3 iOs 5 bugs no one seems to be talking about

I've noticed 3 bugs in iOs 5 that no one seems to be talking about.
1. Sometimes the setup personal hotspot toggle in settings will keep thinking even if you don't tap on it. I believe this contributes to the poor battery life. I've found the only way to stop this is to reboot with home & power buttons.
2. When playing a movie or music the fast forward/search toggle on top is unresponsive. It takes up to 5 times sometimes for it to pick up that my finger is on it, and by this time it's already skipped around so much that it's pointless.
3. This last one is more of an app compatibility issue. Google's search app times out and is useless now since opening Safari and using the search function in the corner works much faster.
APPLE PLEASE ADDRESS THESE ISSUES IN THE NEW iOS UPDATE

ddizzd,
You're not addressing Apple here, only other users just like yourself. You're just wasting your time and breath on this forum. You need to post here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html

Recently, iTunes upgraded. My 7th generation iPod is now not recognized and I cannot sync. The troubleshooting talks about being visible in Windows (iPod is invisible) No other options and nothing about windows 8

I have had similar issues with mine, happens mainly if I transfer songs and then decide to disconnect my iPod to listen to them with my IEMs (I use Interenet Explorer in my case and it is not neccessarely up when this happens, so I seriously doubt it is an issue conencted to the web browser). I have no patience for this so my trick is I try to eject it from iTunes, if that does not work, then I bring Windows explorer up, right mouse click on the iPod mounted drive and select Eject. It gives me the same warning but there is a third button selection called Continue. When I choose that it just disconnets the drive anyway and the iPod is finally disconnected. It seems to work each and every time I do it so this solution is fine for me. Would be intersting to see what the real root cause of this is because I started getting this problem with the newer iTunes 11.

Maybe this will help. If you monitor the "More Like This" box, other solved threads appear. Opening them usually displays other threads.

I cannot find a way to sort the bookmark folders themselves alphabetically by name.I am not talking about in a view mode but in the way they are displayed when I click on my bookmarks tab. Can someone explain to me how to accomplish this.

I have a lot of various book mark folders with websites contained within each folder. I am able to sort the websites within each folder alphabetically by name but I cannot find a way to sort the bookmark folders themselves alphabetically by name.I am not talking about in a view mode but in the way they are displayed when I click on my bookmarks tab. Can someone explain to me how to accomplish this other than manually dragging them as this is extremely hard for me due to the fact that I am a quadriplegic with limited hand movement dexterity

Bookmark folders that you created are in the Bookmarks Menu folder. "Sort" that folder.

What is iMovie talking about with this error message?

I have an iMovie 4 project that has been output to iDVD successfully some time ago from my G4 (Tiger 10.4.8). I recently copied it onto my iBook (600MHz - 10.4.8). When I try to insert an extra Title before a new footage clip I get the message - "You can't run this application from a read only disk." So I press OK and then I get "Error in system operation (-5000).
What is it talking about ?
Any advice much appreciated!
Thanks
Arnie

If you have two versions of the project available — one on the DVD and one on the hard disk — make absolutely sure you are opening the one on the hard disk. If iMovie is opening the last-opened project, it may be opening the project on the DVD.

From reading Vista forums support for SSD is one of the things Vista SP2 and Windows 7 hope (need) to improve upon. I was in a similar discussion once befoe on SSDs:

I don't think it is EFI issue, but with XP and drivers, lack, and wonder if you can try with Vista?

That won't solve performance issues, but should work.

"My guess is that [Samsung and Microsoft] are maybe working on the OS recognizing an SSD with a 4K-byte sector size instead of a hard disk drive with a 512-byte sector size," Wong said.
Sun is already working with Samsung to bulk up SSD support on the ZFS (Zettabyte File System), which is included in the Solaris OS, and will also be supported in Apple's upcoming Mac OS X 10.6, codenamed Snow Leopard. Sun is adding capabilities to boost the durability and performance of SSDs on ZFS-based operating systems. For example, Sun may add defragmentation capabilities for SSDs, which organizes data in a particular order to enable quicker data access.
SSDs were not considered ideal for defragmentation because of limited read-and-write capabilities, Wong said. However, Samsung and Sun in July jointly announced an 8G-byte SSD that bumped up durability from 100,000 read-and-write cycles to 500,000. That brings defragmentation in SSDs closer to reality, which could improve its caching and provide quicker access to data. Sun plans to put SSDs into storage products later this year.

Why is the wifi reception on my iPhone 5 so poor. I'm not talking about in my own home with my own router. I'm talking about AT&T hotspots, public hotspots, etc. I can hold my 3GS and my 5 side by side, the 3GS picks up more signals with more strength. The 5 seems to have a weaker wireless network than its predecessors. It's very frustrating because I can be 20 feet from a wireless router, and still only show 2 bars, if I don't end up losing the connection. What gives??

I've done the resets...no real help at all. Im Also on my 2nd iPhone 5. The first was replaced because of a faulty external speaker module. Both phones wifi reception pretty much suck. ESPECIALLY if the case is on. I'll luck out a little bit by taking the case off...but not much.

HT1338 There is a lot of talk about the Java security issues and the ability to download a patch fix, do i need to do this or will software update pick this up for me?

Thanks for that, how do I establish if I have Java installed as on Safari preferences it indicates the following

How do I get my money back? Adobe Send feature set not even close to Send Now. No password protected download link option, poor contact management, no branded sending, no Outlook add-in / support. Wow. Talk about killing an excellent product.

Poor Contact Management? I see no contact management lol.
What a fiasco!

Instructions immediately talk about Firefox Window, but doesn't say how to get this window.

It's taken me almost an hour to get to this point. I am technologically challenged. I have an old version of Firefox. The instructions immediately launch into the "Firefox Window" but says nothing about how to get to this window. Where is this window? Maybe I should just download Opera?

What instructions are you talking about and what do you want to accomplish?
Note that it is not safe to use such an outdated Firefox version that has known disclosed security vulnerabilities, so please update to the current Firefox 33 release.
*Help > About Firefox

You can use one of these to start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u>:
