Creating Modern GUI Applications with JavaFX

• Java programming experience
• Some experience with Swing, AWT or AWT is desirable

JavaFX is a GUI library available in the latest version of Java JDK. It contains a collection of graphics and media packages for designing, creating, testing, debugging, and deploying rich client applications that operate consistently across multiple platforms.

In this onsite instructor-led, live training, participants will learn how to develop rich user interfaces using Java's powerful GUI library, JavaFX.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Create a modern, visually-pleasing Java application using JavaFX
• Integrate JavaFX into legacy Swing and SWT based Java applications
• Add 3D graphics and effects to their application
• Test and debug their Java application
• Deploy the application to the web or as a desktop application
