Chet Haase Leaves Sun to Join Adobe Flex Team
Todd Costella
joined the folks at Adobe. http://graphics-geek.blogspot.com/ I've
followed Chet's contributions to the Swing world for a few years and
he will be missed for sure. I wish him well of course but wonder who
will step up and fill the very large hole that his leaving creates.
Congrats James, this is a huge addition to your group at Adobe.

I don't know him personally, but, I did have an opportunity to chat
briefly with him in the airport on the way back from JavaPolis. He was
on the same plane back from Europe that I was on. he seemed to me like
a person that is fairly direct. So, I tend to believe his stated
reasons for going to Adobe. He states one of the major reasons pretty
clearly in his first blog post in a new Flex blog:
http://graphics-geek.blogspot.com/2008/02/what-hello-world.html
"One of the things that attracted me to Flex, and to Adobe, was a
client platform that enables very rich user experiences; transitions,
animations, filters, and just darned good-looking UIs are all pretty
exciting to this graphics geek. I hope to be able to help make Flex an
even richer platform going forward."
This statement says volumes to me. If *anyone* should know about the
merits of JavaFX versus Flex for rich user experience programming, it
would be a graphics programming guru at Sun. I don't want to read too
much into his career decision to focus on Flex rather than JavaFX,
but, it is really hard for me not to.

also mean that for instance he got a position where he would have more
influence and less byrocracy.

Java Posse Roundup and I hope to meet many of you there! I believe that
Chet will also still be speaking at JavaOne on Filthy Rich Clients with
Romain Guy.

I was surprised to learn this morning that Chet Hasse has left Sun and joined the folks at Adobe. http://graphics-geek.blogspot.com/ I’ve followed Chet’s contributions to the Swing world for a few years and he will be missed for sure. I wish him well of course but wonder who will step up and fill the very large hole that his leaving creates.

approved and the beer is being prepared as we speak.
