All the references I made in the presentation are in this post, as well as links to some code repositories to get you started! Slides Slides available as PDF Technical Content Game Engine (update/draw-loop) For the game engine I followed a blog from James Cho. It is an amazing step-by-step guide to build a game engine in Android. It’s quite easy to change that Android implementation into JavaFX! The tutorial is getting quite old but I had no problem following it and reaching my goal. [Read More]

Java improved its 'Hello World' experience

Smoother on-ramps with new Java Enhancement Proposals

   |  Tom Cools

No bootcamps are choosing Java. I was recently thinking about how we can get more people to program Java. While I think we still got work in many areas (more about that in future blog posts), I think the biggest influx of new Java developers could be found in bootcamps. While often overlooked when talking about “onboarding new people to our industry”, bootcamps are a great pathway to join our industry. [Read More]
