In addition to the JavaFX Technical Session above, I'll be teaching a University session on JavaFX Script with Sang Shin on Monday, May 5th (Java University Day). If you attend one of my sessions, please introduce yourself!

Also, you might check out a JavaFX interview that Harshad Oak of IndicThreads.com conducted with me. IndicThreads.com is a great resource for developers, and I really appreciated Harshad's professionalism and expertise.
