Closed Gui discussion: is it time to shift from swing to javafx

[haxxorisme]

Hello mga sir. Since officially supported na ang javaFX beginning sa Java 8. kailangan ba alamin na ngayon ang JavaFX API. I'm not a employed java developer but a student only at tsaka hindi ko rin alam ang work environment kung ano ginagawa ng isang java dev sa isang company. Kumusta naman po sa industry ng Java developers? plus na points na po ba ang skilled sa JavaFX o majority parin eh naka swing. Need thoughts and ideas. Thank you!

mga 'tol, huwag masyado mag-alala kung swing ba or javafx.
- short answer, you need to know both

kasi? marami pa ring apps na gawa sa SWING na DAPAT i-maintain....and....marami na ang gawa sa javaFX na kailangang i-maintain.

and? marami pa rin new apps na ginagawa by using SWING at the same with JavaFX.

so you need to know both.

Also, making GUI is just a small portion of being a Java developer.
Mas importante na magaling kayo sa app DESIGNING (or engineering) or good in software development practices.

Sa company namin, meron kaming MENTORING. Pag senior ka, meron kang "duty" to mentor new and younger developers. It's good para sa survival ng isang team (or even a company).

Most of the time, you will be PART of a TEAM. So, ang pinaka importante ay maayos ang iyong COMMUNICATION SKILLS.. lalo na sa English and grammars...and you know the common technical terms sa field ng development.
(To be honest, dito mo makikita kung sakto ba or hindi ang isang tao na isama sa isang team or mas maganda siya isama sa kabilang team).

AND, I cannot stress this enough....comprehension is important.

Most of the time, iba iba ang iyong ginawa araw araw. Lalo na kung ang delivery ng mga projects ay extremely fast.
Pero hindi nawawala ang documentation or paggawa ng report. Depende sa portion mo sa project, minsan coding ay konti lang. Minsan naman puro research ka lang for your report (reading requirements and documentations).
And the truth is, kung "magaling at may potential ka" as coder, hindi ka tatagal as coder. Promotion or assignment to other or next level positions is very very fast (at least dito sa company namin).

Salamat sir codyscott sa well-explained answer po. naliwanagan ako.

One more question sir, separated po ba ang designer at tsaka coder ng gui? Kahit sa sariling experiences mo lang po sa iyong company or companies kung saan ka nagwork, sir. If it depends upon the company po, based on your own experiences and observations, ano mas madalas, sir?

Target ko po na career kasi sir is java dev or android dev sana. Weak po ako sa creativity and design pero i believe that I can implement good software engineering practices at implementation ng OOP. Thanks sir in advanced!

kung ang ibig mong sabihin ay "graphic designer" at gui coder, yes, hiwalay na tao (or skill set). Lalong kailangan ang graphic designer pag ang project ay kailangan ng magagarang frontends. Kasama ang graphic designer sa planning.

OOP and good software engineering, yes, that's it for a skill set. Kahit Java, C# .Net, madali ka na lang mag adjust.

TIP1: gawa ka ng mga Useful DESKTOP/WEB APPS at saka Android apps na mga 100% completed (di baleng may konting bugs basta well documented)....para pang portfolio mo. Big plus yan sa interview. And also, kahit isa or dalawang framework na familiar ka, puwede ka na mag apply.

Noted sir. Salamat sa mga answers at tip. Di ko po lilimutan yan. Thank you po talaga
