Abstract

With the increasing variety of intelligent devices, many of them mobile, simple forms just don't cut it. JavaFX is Sun Microsystem's way cool platform aimed at making immersive, media-rich applications that can run on desktop, mobile and soon interactive-TV platforms. JavaFX is already supported by large consumer electronics companies such as LG Electronics and Sony. According to Sun, they have shipped over 100,000,000 JavaFX runtimes in the growing rich client market.

JavaFX leverages all the best features of Java and allows developers to design applications by leveraging the same core APIs on each platform.

Jim will demonstrate how JavaFX gives you a new method for designing interactive applications on the Java platform. He will cover the essentials of the platform through plenty of real coding examples and demonstrations.
