About the Presentation: Since Sun Microsystem announced it at JavaOne in 2007, JavaFX has evolved from a RIA platform requiring a special language into a full fledged modern GUI toolkit for desktop computers (Windows, Mac OS X, Linux), smart phones and tablets (iPhone, iPad, Android, Windows Surface Pro), and embedded devices (Raspberry Pi, Arduino, and others). JavaFX 8, which is a part of Oracle JDK 8, offers a fantastic set of UI controls, layouts, animations, and charts; supports media playback and webview; allows GUIs to be created graphically (SceneBuilder) or declaratively (FXML), and styled by CSS; and supports 3D scenes when appropriate video hardware is available.
In this talk, Weiqi will focus on the following areas of the JavaFX 8 tool chain:
• The SceneBuilder GUI designer
• The JavaFX 3D objects
• The JavaFX 8 printing system
• The JavaFX 8 CSS support
Weiqi will also demonstrate how some of the sample applictions he has built can be make to run on an iPhone, an iPad, and a Samsung GalaxyTab 4 7in.
