JavaFX Programming

In the course JavaFX Programming you will learn to use JavaFX for designing desktop and mobile front ends.

Rich User Interfaces with Java FX

JavaFX is pitched squarely at the Adobe Flash / Microsoft Silverlight arena of bringing rich interfaces to internet and mobile applications. The course is aimed at Java developers who need to create front ends to replace AWT and Swing (for desktop) or Java ME and JWT (for mobile).

Java FX Property Binding

In this course students will learn to create user interfaces using a declarative style enabled by the JavaFX builder classes. Attention is paid to patterns for JavaFX developers and to property binding to keep the UI synchronized with the model.

Java FX Controls

Students will also learn about JavaFX UI controls, charts, shapes, effects, transformations and animations to create stunning, responsive, user interfaces.

Java FX Layouts

Also discussed are the JavaFX layout classes to define the user interface in a cross-platform fashion and the observable collection classes to observe changes in, and bind to, Java collections.

Java FX Media Classes

Finally JavaFX media classes to play audio and video are treated and the interaction with external application services to create an enterprise application with JavaFX as well.

Audience Course JavaFX Programming
