JavaFX In Action #3 with Christopher Schnick about XPipe, an app to manage all your servers
In the next video in this “JFX In Action” series, I talked with Christopher Schnick about XPipe, a tool to manage all your servers.
Repairing Roland Piano HP-237E Keys and Pedal Connector
This is a bit of a different type of post… At my son’s school, the piano in the music class had a few issues, and I went “on a quest” to fix it :-) This post is a collection of what info I needed to get this done, written down here, just in case someone is looking for the same info.
JavaFX In Action #2 with Daniel Zimmermann about JavaFX and Kotlin
For the second video in this “JFX In Action” series, I talked to Daniel Zimmermann. He got my attention when he recently tweeted: “To your dismay I have to tell you I write all my desktop applications using Kotlin and JavaFX”. Why is he a big Kotlin AND JavaFX fan? I asked him and got a demo of the network test application that he is working on.
JavaFX In Action #1 with Pedro Duque Vieira, aka Duke about Hero, PDFSam, FXThemes, FXComponents,...
People who follow me, know I have a big love for JavaFX. It’s my go-to for every desktop user interface application I build. I love the simplicity of quickly creating an app that makes full use of the “Java powers” to build both multi-threaded “backend services” combined with a beautiful-looking UI into one executable. I’m starting a new video series “JFX In Action” in which I talk to developers to show the world what is being developed with JavaFX, starting with Pedro Duque Vieira about the JavaFX libraries and apps he creates.

Book review - Frontend Development with JavaFX and Kotlin
For a personal pet project, I started experimenting with JavaFX and Kotlin to create a user interface with a lot of Java / Kotlin background processing. As I knew there is a book available on this specific topic, Apress was so kind to send me a review copy of Frontend Development with JavaFX and Kotlin: Build State-of-the-Art Kotlin GUI Applications by Peter Späth (152 pages, 48€ on paper, 35.5€ for ebook on Amazon.nl).

Example Java Application with Embedded Jetty and a htmx Website
I was experimenting with a Java application that can act as a web server and includes the user interface HTML-files that get modified with htmx, to replace certain parts of the HTML with other ones created in Java. I found it pretty hard to understand how to configure the embedded Jetty webserver, but as always with Java libraries, it’s pretty easy once you understand how to do it ;-) I decided to share my example, so you don’t need to go through the same search if you want to use the same approach…
