Encode Once, Play Anywhere: An Interview With JavaFX Media Lead Engineer Tony Wyant

Encode Once, Play Anywhere: An Interview With JavaFX Media Lead Engineer Tony Wyant: "With JavaFX 1.0, Sun launches an expressive, rich client platform for creating and delivering rich Internet applications (RIAs) across all the screens that consumers use. Building on the proven Java platform, with an easily leveraged installed base in the billions, JavaFX offers distinct advantages to web developers, designers, and Java developers. Designed to enable the easy creation and deployment of RIAs with audio, video, and other rich media, the JavaFX platform eliminates complexity and cost by enabling developers and designers to collaborate more efficiently with a common set of tools across devices and platforms. JavaFX works across the browser, the desktop, and mobile screens without forcing developers to write multiple application interfaces using divergent technologies. Web designers and developers who have been constrained by the limitations of the browser-based environment can work with rich media content free of the browser."
