Swing
A decade from now 90% of people will use phones, slates, or netbooks as their primary computing device. This is a very exciting development in the software world and promises to reshape the way we make software (check out the great stuff our lead developer is doing in his day job at Palm), but Amino isn't for that world. Amino about that 10%: the content creators who need killer desktop apps, the...
Last week I told you we had a secret new open source project to release. Think of it as an early Christmas present. A project that you've never heard of and has nothing to do with JavaFX (which is partially untrue, but I'll get to that in a second). Well, it's almost the end of the week so here is the secret. You can listen to MP3 announcement (played on stage at the JavaPosse's JavaPolis...
By now you've probably all read
one
of
a
slew
of
blogs
that discuss the new Mustang beta available
here
. But of course this is old news because you've already been downloading the weekly builds from
here
right? :)
Okay, enough of the linkage.
As a relatively new member of the Swing team I don't have much to add, but I will say that we've put a lot of improvements into the the Windows...
Just a quick note to let you know that I've got a new article up about SwiXml. SwiXml is an open source library for building Swing GUI layout using XML instead of code (ie: the evilness that is GridBagLayout). In the article you'll learn what you need to get started using it and how it works. Check it out and let me know what you think. Also let me know what other articles you'd like to see....
Joshua responds to his previous weblog with good news about the state of Desktop Java and the improvements which will be coming soon.
Joshua talks about the new JDIC Misc API for small but useful features, including alerts, volume, and dock menu support on Mac OS X
Hey guys. A while back I started talking about something called a MiniApp and presented several examples (Weather, Christmas, Storm, and RSI Buster). I wrote another installment some time ago but never got around to finishing it because other projects (namely the book) took precedence. Now that Chris and I have turned in our final draft (yay!) I have more time to finish up the next MiniApp....
Joshua releases a new mini app to attractively display weather data and discusses the requirements of "rich clients".
Joshua builds on top of a previous hack to turn the cursor into a lens that shows special information about the components underneath.
Joshua uses a Swing trick to overlay a frame with translucent text.
GUI
As many of you may know, user interface design is a passion of mine. I want software that both looks pretty and acts well. I've had lots of ideas on the topic, often bleeding over into art and traditional design, in addition to usability. After thinking about it for a couple of years I've finally decided to create a blog dedicated to the topic: www.joshondesign.com
At Josh On Design I'll be...
