This month Jim Clarke, co-author of JavaFX - Developing Rich Internet Applications, will bring us up to date on the latest JavaFX 2.0 features. JavaFX provides a powerful Java-based UI platform capable of handling large-scale data driven business applications. With this new update, Java-FX 2.0, developers can create JavaFX applications completely in Java. This allows developers to preserve existing investments by reusing Java libraries in the JavaFX applications.
It's a huge update that embraces the core Java platform and provides a rich set of graphics and media API to simplify development of visual applications. Jim will bring us up to date on all that JavaFX 2.0 has to offer including, but not limited to:
So come on out to DeVry and learn about the latest update to JavaFX.

Autonomous teams are an article of faith in modern software development. The shape of our value determines what we can do; it determines our trade-offs between agency and coherence. We all have a purpose, and we all have agency to do something, hence the suggestion is moving from product focus to value center thinking.

Lily Mara explains how to avoid high-risk software rewrites through incremental FFI refactoring. She shares how engineering teams can replace Python bottlenecks with Rust via PyO3, demonstrating how to achieve dramatic function-level speedups, seamless integration testing, and meaningful infrastructure cost savings without microservice overhead.
By Lily MaraAI coding assistants have become a core part of software development. AI-generated code has shown productivity gains, but it's also contributing to security weaknesses and familiar bug patterns. In this article, author Nitin Garg highlights the bottleneck has moved from code generation to code verification, and how to detect & mitigate it when the AI-generated behavior diverges from the intent.
