WTF is JavaFX?!? (book review)

2/5

I didn’t really know anything about JavaFX until I picked up this book. Now not only do I know what it is, I can use it too. If you’re looking to understand what JavaFX is and where it might fit in your toolset then go grab the 216 page book “JavaFX Script: Dynamic Java Scripting for Rich Internet/Client-side Applications”. This book will get you rolling quickly and simply and give you the basics you’ll need to know to properly evaluate if it is right for you.

With that said – if your not familiar with programming concepts (conditionals, loops etc.) in general, or if you want an in-depth explanation of where JavaFX fits into the scheme of things, then I would not suggest this book.

About John Crosby

A former professional foodie turned keyboard-jockey in favor of a keyboard, cushy chair and cooler working conditions. I now work at Realeyes Media. I am a Partner and Senior Developer and the office Kuroko: In kabuki, the kuroko serve many of the same purposes as running crew. They move scenery and props on stage, aiding in scene changes and costume changes. They will also often play the role of animals, will-o-the-wisps, or other roles which are played not by an actor in full costume, but by holding a prop. Kuroko wear all black, head to toe, in order to imply that they are invisible and not part of the action onstage.
