  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.
