JavaFX™ Script: Dynamic Java™ Scripting for Rich Internet/Client-Side Applications
Dear Reader, JavaFX Script was revealed at JavaOne 2007 as the tool that will enable developers to create rich content using the JavaFX familyof products from Sun Microsystems. I wrote JavaFX™ Script: Dynamic Java™ Scripting for Rich Internet/Client-Side Applications because I am excited about the power and simplicity of using JavaFX Script to create rich internet applications that will run on many different platforms, including personal computers and mobile phones. I began developing Java applications in 1995 and have witnessed thecapabilities and complexities of Java increase over time. I recognized the potential in JavaFX Script straight away when I saw how it can give content designers and application developers a simple, but powerful, language that has all the capability of Java behind it. For example, in JavaFX Script a simple declarative expression can define a user interface complete with platform-independent layoutmanagers. Behind-the-scenes, Java facilities such as layout managers and Swing components are automatically employed to implement the desired user interface. My tutorial-style book will have you developing applications with JavaFX Script as quickly as possible. I lead you step-by-step through JavaFX Script concepts, with each concept building on your knowledge of the previous one. Exercises and samplesolutions test your understanding throughout, help you learn even faster and, combined with the logical style of the tutorial, also provide a valuable course textbook or training companion. Complex information on JavaFX Script constructs, such as operators, are presented in tabular format which makes the book an easy-to-reference guide that you will turn to again and again. JavaFX Script is verynew, and still changing. As it does, this book will be updated to reflect these changes. It is my hope that you’ll share my excitement about JavaFX Script and the potential it offers, and that you’ll enjoy working through the book to reach it. Regards, James L.
