In addition, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/alexander-zuev-75039413\/\" rel=\"norefferer noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Alexander Zuev<\/a>, Technology Evangelist at SUN Microsystems, delivered the first review of the new JavaFX development platform for Belarusian developers.<\/p>\n<p>More than 120 IT specialists from Minsk, Homel, and Vitebsk attended the conference, a dozen more followed the live broadcast online.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI was impressed by the enthusiasm and friendliness of the people in Belarus. I believe that it is one of the things that distinguish the Eastern Europeans from the other European inhabitants. I received a lot of questions regarding Adobe technologies and how they apply to the Java environment. I also had a good conversation about technology and outsourcing with Alexander Zuev, SUN\u2019s new JavaFX Evangelist. I really enjoyed the time I spent in Belarus, and I hope to be back again, not necessarily on behalf of Adobe, but also as a tourist, to enjoy the views of the country.\u201d \u2014Cornel Creanga, Adobe<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><center><a href=\"https:\/\/www.altoros.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/12\/joint-meeting-java-flash-altoros-belarus.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.altoros.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/12\/joint-meeting-java-flash-altoros-belarus.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"598\" height=\"438\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-52577\" \/><\/a><small>Java and Adobe user groups<\/small><\/center><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_conference_highlights\"><\/span>The conference highlights<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Once the registration was over, the meeting started with Cornel Creanga of Adobe, presenting his review of the key capabilities of the Adobe Flex technology. First, the speaker talked about the programming language itself and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.altoros.com\/blog\/adobe-air-2-5-cross-platform-mobile-applications-in-flex\/\">Adobe AIR<\/a> platform with its high level of interactivity. After that, Cornel demonstrated how to connect Flex with Java back ends, JavaScript, and other web technologies. Cornel also emphasized the importance of open source for Adobe products. After the presentation, Cornel gave out New Year\u2019s gifts from Adobe: shirts with the company\u2019s logo, DVDs, and some O\u2019Reilly books.<\/p>\n<p>During a 15-minute coffee break, the conference attendees would not let Cornel relax as they bombarded him with questions on the differences between Flash, Flex, and other popular RIA technologies. Meanwhile, the rest of the participants chatted over a cup of tea or coffee.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThe format of the conference\u2014speaking together with a representative from Adobe\u2014turned out to be quite exciting. I liked Minsk a lot and was really amazed by the Belarusian students that took part in the conference together with experienced specialists. The level of their general knowledge and education also impressed me. For instance, almost everyone knows that Java is not just the programming language, but also an island in the Indian Ocean. I would love to visit Minsk again. Considering the number of trees in the city, it must be charming in spring!\u201d \u2014Alexander Zuev, Java Technical Evangelist at SUN Microsystems<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Alexander Zuev, Technical Evangelist at the Russian branch of SUN Microsystems, presented a detailed review of the JavaFX platform, which was released on December 4, 2008. He explained the differences between JavaFX and Adobe Flex, demonstrated the capabilities of the new language, JavaFX Script, and spoke on the ways it interacts with existing Java programs. Alexander also covered the JavaFX development tools offered by SUN Microsystems, touched upon the company\u2019s future plans, and answered all challenging and tricky questions. The most active participants were rewarded by Alexander with presents featuring SUN\u2019s logo.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThe recent conference that brought together two user groups was unique, because it encompassed two, in a sense, competing technologies. We are glad that our institute could contribute to the constructive discussion of such technically complex and controversial issues.\u201d \u2014Dr. Nikolay Susha, Rector of the Minsk Institute of Management<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>After the conference finished, Alexander and Cornel along with a dozen other participants continued the discussion in a more casual setting in one of Minsk\u2019s restaurants. The afterparty that started with discussing products and technologies quickly grew into a pleasant banter on cultural differences, secret sides of the speakers\u2019 biographies, Russian winters reaching -50 \u00b0C, and vampires from Transylvania.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Further_reading\"><\/span>Further reading<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.altoros.com\/blog\/the-first-meeting-of-the-belarus-java-user-group-featured-speakers-from-mysql-ab\/\">The First Meeting of the Belarus Java User Group Featured Speakers from MySQL AB<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.altoros.com\/blog\/altoros-supported-three-days-of-adobe-in-belarus\/\">Altoros Supported Three Days of Adobe in Belarus<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.altoros.com\/blog\/altoros-helped-adobe-present-new-mobile-extensions-for-air-flex-developers\/\">Altoros Helped Adobe Present New Mobile Extensions for AIR\/Flex Developers<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Uniting Belarusian Java and Adobe experts<\/p>\n<p>On December 18, 2008, a joint meeting of the Belarus Java User Group and the Adobe Flash Platform User Group was held with the support of the Minsk Institute of Management and Altoros.
