What is JavaFX?

Nowdays, Flash is almost eveywhere, in every computer. However, with Flash, you can't write once, run everywhere. You can't use Flash in all TV + browser + computer + TV ... at the same developed code. Microsoft Silverlight is almost the same. I am sure that Silverlight will become stronger because SilverLight is Micorsoft's and Mircosoft will greatly support SilverLight like what they did with Internet Explorer. SilverLight will be popular because Microsoft may attach it with Windows OS (I guess so).

So, what is JavaFX. JavaFX is not Flash or SilverLight imitation. You can say that JavaFX is a new programming language (actually it's a new platform) supported by Sun Microsystems which inherits Java Platform in either Desktop, Mobile devices or other devices. With JavaFX, your code can be deploy everywhere, on desktop, on browser or in mobile devices and even in TV.
