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 types—text, audio, video, etc.—in ways that engage the user and lead to increased productivity. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGetting 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 \u003cem\u003eJavaFX 2.0: Introduction by Example\u003c\/em\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eEntirely example-based \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFocused on practical applications \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFull of working code for you to adapt and extend \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003eWhat you’ll learn\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eInstall JavaFX 2.0 and configure your environment \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCreate applcations menus and dialog boxes \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDesign forms for data entry \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWork with images and animations \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEmbed audio and video into your applications \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDeploy JavaFX applications in a browser \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003eWho this book is for      \u003cp\u003e     \u003cem\u003eJavaFX 2.0: Introduction by Example\u003c\/em\u003e is aimed at Java programmers wanting to learn the JavaFX 2.0 platform for designing graphic- and media-rich client applications for the enterprise.
