JavaFX 2.0: Introduction by Example provides a quick start to
programming the JavaFX 2.0 platform. JavaFX 2.0 provides a rich set
of APIs for use in creating graphically exciting client
applications written solely in Java. You get a large set of
customizable components that can be skinned using CSS techniques
that you already know from doing web development. The platform even
includes a web rendering engine enabling you to mix HTML content
into your applications. Hardware acceleration means that your
applications are fast and snappy, taking full advantage of modern
graphics processing support at the hardware level. JavaFX 2.0 opens
the door to business applications that look good, are fun to use,
that take advantage of the medium to present data of all typestext,
audio, video, etc.in ways that engage the user and lead to
increased productivity.
Getting started with JavaFX 2.0 is surprisingly easy. You
already have the Java skills. Very likely you know enough of CSS to
get by. All that's left is to get a leg up on the API, and that's
where JavaFX 2.0: Introduction by Example can help. In this short
book, author Carl Dea takes you through a series of engaging,
fun-to-work examples that bring you up to speed with the major
facets of the platform. Begin with the fundamentals of installing
the software and creating a simple interface. Move in progressive
steps through the process of developing a working dialog box for an
application. Then let the fun begin as you explore images and
animations, audio and video, and finally learn to embed JavaFX
applications in a web page as well as embedding HTML5 content
within an application. At the end of this book you'll have a good
grasp of what JavaFX is all about, and you'll be ready to begin
your journey towards mastery of the platform.Entirely example-based
