The key thing here is fixing and improving the bad reputation that client-side Java has, laying the necessary foundation for JavaFX to be competitive. There&#8217;s nothing too interesting about foundations, but the house they build on-top should be fun to watch. Also, check out <a href=\"http:\/\/www.riaweekly.com\/2008\/10\/16\/danny-coward-interview\/\">the interview with Danny Coward I did on the topic<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>I end up giving a mini-strategy overview for RIA adoption for Adobe, Sun, and Microsoft. You can expect Microsoft and Sun to sell to their existing developer pools, as Microsoft&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theregister.co.uk\/2008\/10\/20\/silverlight_all_business\/\">Scott Guthrie spoke to at AJAXWorld<\/a>. Adobe, on the other hand, must go after everyone: .Net, Java, PHP, &#8220;open web,&#8221; hell, why not green screen?<\/li>\n<li>Sun came out with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sun.com\/identitycompliancemanager\">Identity Compliance Manager<\/a> which proves an nice place to talk about selling software by selling water to put out fires instead of lecturing about the virtues of flossing. See <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.sun.com\/idmbuzz\/entry\/new_podcast_identity_compliance_manager\">this short podcast from Sun overviewing ICM<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>I talked with <a href=\"http:\/\/cassatt.com\/\">Cassatt<\/a> last week and give a brief overview of their automation platform. Their &#8220;shut down un-utilized servers to save energy&#8221; is a good example of selling water instead of dental-floss. Check out <a href=\"http:\/\/fountnhead.blogspot.com\/2008\/10\/cloud-computing-forever-changes.html\">the capacity management piece by Ken Oestreich<\/a> that I mentioned.<\/li>\n<li>I had some good pizza with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.phurnace.com\/\">Phurnace<\/a> last week, the Austin-based startup that has <a href=\"http:\/\/www.phurnace.com\/products\/index.php\">tools for migrating configuration between different application servers<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>Also, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.roguewave.com\/\">Rogue Wave<\/a> has a multi-core, parallel processing framework called <a href=\"http:\/\/www.roguewave.com\/products\/hydra\/\">Hydra<\/a> that I talked with them about last week.<\/li>\n<li>While I didn&#8217;t get to very many sessions at last week&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.innotechconference.com\/austin\/\">InnoTech here in Austin<\/a>, I did go to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.innotechconference.com\/austin\/Event\/Austin_Events\/Commercial_Advantages_of_Ruby_and_Rails.php\">one<\/a> with an old friend of mine, <a href=\"http:\/\/mumboe.com\/\">Mumboe<\/a>&#8216;s <a href=\"http:\/\/nocred.wordpress.com\/\">Scott Diedrick<\/a>, on rails, which was interesting, if only to get the current explanations of why rails is nice.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.rackspacecloudevent.com\/\">Rackspace has an upcoming cloud announcement this week in Austin<\/a>. Is it something about <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mosso.com\/\">Mosso<\/a>? (Probably, since Rackspace is using <a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/mosso\">their Twitter account<\/a> to take questions.) Some EC2 competitor? We&#8217;ll see this Wednesday. There&#8217;s a lice web-cast as well.<\/li>\n<li>Next, I got over the astonishing numbers from IDC on Microsoft&#8217;s take of the virtualization market: 23% of the x86 market they say. Over <a href=\"http:\/\/www.virtualization.info\/2008\/10\/microsoft-already-took-23-of.html\">at virtualization.info they have a good post discussing the numbers<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>I briefly mention <a href=\"http:\/\/www.itworld.com\/development\/56179\/topcoder-eyeing-smb-market\">TopCoder Direct<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Disclosure:<\/b> Sun, Microsoft, Adobe, and Phurnace are clients.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[Fancy Player] var so = new SWFObject(&#8216;\/embed\/player.swf&#8217;,&#8217;mpl&#8217;,&#8217;400&#8242;,&#8217;20&#8217;,&#8217;9&#8242;); so.addParam(&#8216;allowscriptaccess&#8217;,&#8217;always&#8217;); so.addParam(&#8216;allowfullscreen&#8217;,&#8217;false&#8217;); so.addParam(&#8216;flashvars&#8217;,&#8217;&amp;file=http:\/\/media.libsyn.com\/media\/redmonk\/debriefing008.mp3&amp;type=sound&#8217;); so.write(&#8216;playerDebriefing008&#8217;); Today&#8217;s debriefing &#8211; download it here, click play above to listen, or subscribe to the podcast feed in iTunes &#8211; covers: NetBeans is 10.
