Watch out Silverlight, you're not the only new kid on the block. Sun Microsystems announced JavaFX at the JavaOne conference today in San Francisco. It seems that everyone is trying to extend the reach of their interactive development platforms these days. First Adobe moves to the desktop with Apollo and now the Adobe Media Player, not to mention Open Sourcing Flex, then Microsoft invades the browser with Silverlight and brings .Net to the Mac and possibly Linux and now Sun has introduced JavaFX to help fulfill it's promise of Java Everywhere and has finally released Java into the Open Source world.

What a great year for interactive developers with all these great new tools and possibilities that now allow us to develop for just about any thing we want to, the job market never looked better. Browser, desktop, mobile, set-top and Blu-Ray DVD - what else could we ask for? Guess it's time to hit the books.
