HIGHLIGHT
A clear, comprehensive tutorial that shows developers how to use JavaFX to
build rich web and desktop applications that build on their investment in Java
skills and tools, and interact smoothly with other Java applications.
DESCRIPTION
JavaFX is a Java-based rich user interface technology that sits atop the existing
Java Standard and Micro Editions. Using it, developers can build rich user interfaces
with access to all Java components already installed on their systems. At its
heart is the easy to learn JavaFX Script language that lets developers describe
what they want to accomplish in clear, declarative terms rather than abstract
code. JavaFX also provides numerous libraries to make development extremely
fast and efficient.
JavaFX in Action is a hands-on tutorial that introduces and explores JavaFX
through numerous bite-sized projects. The book provides a solid grounding in
the JavaFX syntax and related APIs by showing web developers how to apply the
key features of the JavaFX platform. Readers quickly absorb the fundamentals of
the technology while exploring the possibilities JavaFX provides for creative, rich
designs.
Readers learn to transform variables and operators into bouncing raindrops, brilliant
colors, and dancing interface components. They also learn how to interact
with existing Java code to give old apps some new JavaFX sparkle.
