Beginning JavaFX

The open source JavaFX platform offers a Java-based approach to rich Internet application (RIA) development-an alternative to Adobe Flash/Flex and Microsoft Silverlight. At over 100 million downloads, JavaFX is poised to be a significant player.
Written by a JavaFX engineer and developer, this book is one of the first on the JavaFX platform to give you the following:

• The fundamentals of JavaFX scripting on desktop and mobile platforms
• Examples of RIAs using JavaFX Graphics
• Media and animation using JavaFX

See how JavaFX gives you dynamic Java effects in your RIA development.
