Did anyone here a real company using JavaFX for real life applications?
I did a shallow search about JavaFX usage, and found almost no heavy usage case.
Anyone knows companies which actually using JavaFX? I'm really afraid that JavaFX (which is being currently the only somewhat opensource RIA platform) will not survive.
Update this question gives a few example of JavaFX programs (mostly code written for contests). But I saw no commercial users there.
http://www.vancouver2010.com through the Medals or the Athletes pages using the tab called Geo View. Or you can access it via these direct links:

Ubivent and DaliReport - I haven't tried either of them but it's marginally comforting to know they exist. Of course, Sun itself uses JavaFX (no surprise there).
Of course, I've also written my own real-world JavaFX application. It's not at the enterprise level, but nonetheless sees many users.
This press release suggestions "Canoo"
I haven't heard much about people using JavaFX, but it does look like a strong contender to WPF.
Some of the shops using JavaFX are listed at javafx.com here.
I haven't seen or heard much real, large-scale use myself.
I tried to do a simple little project with it, and it initially seemed awesome, but then I hit a bunch of bugs. This was back when it was still beta though.

I'm planning to use claim based identity in my graduation project, ه as i know i need to learn some ASP.NET,since there's no time to study the whole of ASP.NET i would like to know what are the core concepts of ASP.NET to learn in order to start using WIF.
A couple of my team have recently been working on introducing WIF into our existing products. From what I understand of the issues they've been having, you'll have a much easier time trying to design WIF in rather than retro-fitting it as they have.
However, I think it would still be sensible for you to understand Forms Authentication, as well as the ASP.NET page lifecycle. You'll obviously want to know more in order to make your site do anything interesting/useful, but from a purely WIF standpoint I would think you can start getting into it from there.
The whole point about WIF and STS' is that they are logically separated from the rest of your application or site - therefore you shouldn't need that much knowledge about ASP.NET to use WIF - in some ways it should be just like plumbing in your washing machine, you don't need to understand how the water gets to your house, you don't need to know in-depth how the washer spin cycle is programmed, you just need to know how to connect them.

I want to use SQLite for object persistence in C++ for making games (I'm thinking of using SDL). Anyway how cross platform is SQLite? It works on Windows, Mac, Linux, and Android right? How about Blackberry, iOS, Nintendo portable and console systems, and Playstation and XBox systems? Does it work on those systems?, or if not, what does work on those systems. Is there a better solution than SQLite if I my goal is to be ultra cross-platform?
Also - should I being using plain serialization, such as boost serlialization? I want to use SQLite because I don't want to use flat files for object storage, because I feel that would be faster for loading objects - especially since I may not always load objects in order.
My idea was to create my own serial abstract base class with a load and save function, and to derive classes from that, and write a custom load and save function for each class to interact with the SQLite database.
I wonder if anyone can suggest any better ideas on that too.
SQLite is among the most portable code around. Chances are good it is already running in all of the devices you mention, plus your phones, GPS, car dashboard, etc.
Confirming that it works on iOS. As a matter of fact, CoreData Framework relies on it.

Is anyone knowledgeable on programming language implementation of algorithmic trading?
I am going to propose a research project on functional programming and algorithmic trading.
My proposal is here: http://pastebin.com/wcigd5tk
Any comments would be very appreciated.
What do you think the future of functional languages in the financial field is? I see many job postings that ask for experience in java and C++, and i dont understand why.
Jane Street is very well known for using OCaml for their trading software. Here you can find some reasons why they decided to use functional languages rather than imperative ones. They also have a blog describing several specific solutions to problems they encountered during development.
C++ is the most popular in that field.
java , python ,haskall ,c# are all runners up
haskall and c# are functional with haskell being purely functional
eventually the field will move to a more "modern language" like c# or haskall but right now c++ has so much support the libraries are already made and its implementation is the easiest .
For Trading application, it usually has Real time, multithread, low latency, high availability to consider too. I was working in a company developing a trading application using both(mixed) C++ and Java as it fit with the behaviour of the application.

I'm beginner in qt. I think it's useful but there is some thing wrong. I think it's not the number one developer's choice. Why developers don't like using Qt?
And what is the best replacement for Qt?
When you use Qt you get spoiled by the extensive documentation so when you switch to another toolkit you'll be miserable.
This is my only complaint with the Qt.
If you are developing purely on Windows then C# may give you easier links into Windows technologies, it's also a simpler language than C++ - although they are working on that.
For C++ there isn't really a good alternative toolkit.
On Windows, MFC is a bit long in the tooth, managed c++ (or whatever it's called this week) together with .Net is a pain^2.
On Linux, Gnome requires you to write c in c++ while thinking in objective c.
depends on language but most developers that i know use visual studio, especially for c++ etc

More of a side thing I want to learn since they never really went much over it in college, and yes im sure this has been asked plenty of times but Books/Algorithms get updated. So I wanted to most updated opinions/reviews of it.
I am less concerned about the history of it, but more concerned about actual implementation. And maybe by the end of the book implementing my own pseudo encryption algorithm.
I recall hearing something about Crpytool being a good learning program. I don't know if that is still true or not.
I am guessing typical encryption algorithms can be pretty much implemented in most languages right? Like MD5 in php and c?
http://www.schneier.com/book-practical.html
And please don't use your pseudo-encryption algorithm for anything more important than your own love letters. It's probably best not to use your own implementations of standard algorithms either.
Here is Cryptography for Developers and Cryptography in C and C++ books which I advise you much
The handbook of applied cryptography is worth to read, especially chapter 14.

Wikipedia has a good bibliography page on the subject which history page shows frequent updates.
