Amy Fowler is a Senior Staff Engineer at Sun Microsystems, and is one of the founding members of the Java Swing GUI Toolkit. . Over 70 people attended this meeting at Sun's Santa Clara Auditorium. Plus, 40 folks were watching remotely via ustream.
Amy's talk entitle "JavaFX Layout Secrets" dealt with a number concepts including:

- Growing and Shrinking in the scene-graph
- The 10 Layout Commandments in JavaFX...(Per Amy, now down to 8 something w/new JavaFX 1.3 features-see photos below)
- PLUS much MORE; **stay tuned** for Stephen Chin to put the session up on parleys.com soon (it will be in the free "JUG space")
