snydeq writes "With Adobe's divestment of Flex and mobile Flash and Microsoft's move from Silverlight to Metro, Oracle now seems all alone in believing that a fat client framework &mdash; in the form of JavaFX &mdash; is a worthwhile investment, writes Andrew Oliver. 'Fewer and fewer options exist for developing purely fat client desktop applications and fewer still for RAD applications with Web-based delivery (aka, "thick clients"). We are on the verge of a purely HTML/JavaScript client world. Or we would be, if it weren't for mobile pushing us back to client-side development.'" http://a.fsdn.com/sd/twitter_icon_large.png (http://twitter.com/home?status=The+Long+Death+of+Fat+Clients%3A+http% 3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2FN1dGVn) http://a.fsdn.com/sd/facebook_icon_large.png (http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fdevelopers.slashdot.org% 2Fstory%2F12%2F06%2F28%2F1815211%2Fthe-long-death-of-fat-clients%3Futm_source%3Dslashdot%26utm_medium%3Dfac ebook) http://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/gplus-16.png (http://plus.google.com/share?url=http://developers.slashdot.org/story/12/06/28/1815211/the-long-death-of-fat-clients?utm_source=slashdot&utm_medium=googleplus)
