Review: JavaFX greatly simplifies graphical user interface developments which include visual effects, sound and animation. JavaFX works seamlessly with Java, allowing it to “write once, run anywhere”. JavaFX is actually a family of products with application for mobile phones, consumer, television and desktop devices, but it also includes the ability to deliver and build a new generation of rich internet applications. Writing graphical user interfaces requires the twin skills of graphic design and programming. Users usually fall into one or the other category, and JavaFX is designed to bridge this gap for both parties. The book is intended to get the reader started quickly, giving key features and how to use them. The book comes with a website http://jfxbook.com where you can see full colour illustrations and demos of its use.
