About This Book

JavaFX is a Java-based rich user interface technology that sits atop the existingJava Standard and Micro Editions. Using it, developers can build rich user interfaceswith access to all Java components already installed on their systems. At itsheart is the easy to learn JavaFX Script language that lets developers describewhat they want to accomplish in clear, declarative terms rather than abstractcode. JavaFX also provides numerous libraries to make development extremelyfast and efficient. JavaFX in Action is a hands-on tutorial that introduces and explores JavaFXthrough numerous bite-sized projects. The book provides a solid groundingin the JavaFX syntax and related APIs by showing web developers how to applythe key features of the JavaFX platform. Readers quickly absorb the fundamentalsof the technology while exploring the possibilities JavaFX provides forcreative, rich designs.Readers learn to transform variables and operators into bouncing raindrops, brilliant colors, and dancing interface components. They also learn how to interactwith existing Java code to give old apps some new JavaFX sparkle. Purchase of the print book comes with an offer of a free PDF, ePub, and Kindle eBook from Manning.
