JavaFX is the standard tool for GUI development (replacing Swing in Java SE), and the next step in the evolution of Java. This JavaFX training course shows how to build contemporary user interfaces using Java 7 and Java 8 and explains how JavaFX connects to other Java APIs, how to use FXML to separate the UI design from the application logic, and how to draw lines and shapes with the 2D class objects. To make your GUIs more interactive, you must understand about; how to apply effects and add images, charts, and animation to your JavaFX projects. Finally, learn how to integrate CSS to customize your JavaFX interface designs. Challenges issued along the way allow you to test your new JavaFX skills as you build them. Students will gain hands-on experience coding JavaFX GUI apps and learning development and testing best practices.
