All,

 

The Java/JavaFX 8 release dev preview with Raspberry Pi support came out this afternoon.  It is a great way to show Java running on a very inexpensive (35 USD) computing platform, and works great for labs or training.

 

I put a quick getting started guide on my blog:

And here is the release site:

Happy hacking!

 

Cheers,

Hi All,

The Raspberry Pi stuff is really cool and I have been hunting down sites to get one hardware but seriously sorry that none ship to India.

Raj could you please let me know if we can get one from anywhere or order one?

Thanks,

[Stephen Chin]

Supposedly, RS Electronics has a local distributor in India.  Here is their site:

2400 Rupees for a Pi.

 

Obviously I haven't tried it myself.  ;)

 

Cheers,

--Steve
