The JavaFX platform makes it possible to write applications that can be deployed across devices ranging from cell phones to desktops, with little or no change required. JavaFX applications are written using JavaFX Script, a new and easy-to-use scripting language.

  • Language syntax

  • Tools you can use to develop, debug, and deploy JavaFX applications

  • User interface classes

  • Animation

  • How to play audio and video

  • How to use RESTful Web services and databases to retrieve the data for your application

  • How to create custom components

  • Transformations

  • User interface basics, attributes, events,and controls

  • JavaFX and networking

  • JavaFX development with NetBeans and Eclipse

  • Packaging and deployment 

    • Topley highlights critical topics that other books gloss over, presents detailed examples that stretch JavaFX to its limits, and shows you exactly how to build on the skills you already have. Whether you’ve been focused on HTML/XML/CSS Web development or Java Swing, this book will help you get outstanding results with JavaFX.
