Post JavaOne Fun
During the intense week of JavaOne, I've built up a list of technologies that I want to explore after learning about them in Moscone. Here are some of the things that are on my post-JavaOne To Do list:
- Play with JFugue - its a simple api to use to create music. Lots of fun.
- Play with JavaFX Script - looks like lots of fun - but not fully baked yet.
- Start using Netbeans 6.0 - there are lot's of really powerful features in NB 6 - including a whole bunch of new editing features.
- Learn more about the Java Persistence API and JavaDB
- Learn more about the Swing Application Framework
- Play with Sun Spots (I have a couple on my desk as I type this).
- Work with enthusiastic interns that do amazing things.
- Think about ways to use MPk20/Project Wonderland/Darkstar for building a shared music space
- Internalize the best practices for wildcards, bounded types and bounded wildcards as put forward by Josh Bloch
- Explore using the JMonkey Engine for the next generation of 3D visualizations.
