JavaFX Developer's Guide is the practical, comprehensive guide to JavaFX development for experienced Java developers. Author Kim Topley, best-selling author of Core JFC and Core Swing , is one of the world's leading experts on building rich, visual applications with the Java platform. In this book, Topley helps Java developers build on their existing skills to get rapid results with JavaFX, whether they've used previous solutions like Swing and Java2D or not. Topley systematically covers JavaFX language features and resources ranging from the 'scenegraph' library for creating Flash-like animated sequences to UI control events and JavaFX's powerful, ready-to-use GUI components. Readers will also find detailed guidance on using NetBeans, the command line, and Ant to develop with JavaFX and document JavaFX software. This book is organized to introduce many of JavaFX's most powerful features early on, so developers can begin working with them quickly, and then deepen their skills one step at a time. Throughout, all examples and code are based on the final JavaFX 1.0 release, not earlier betas that have rapidly become obsolete.
