JavaFX Script: Dynamic Java Scripting for Rich Internet Client-side Applications

JavaFX Script makes it easy for developers to quickly develop high quality UI intensive applications very quickly. Developers would like to develop Rich Internet Applications/Rich client side user interfaces quickly and easily with this potential replacement for Ajax and, perhaps, even ActionScript and other scripting found in Flash. This is the first book that provides a first look at JavaFX Script in its current emergent stage. It gives brief introduction to the JavaFX family of products, and quickly focuses on the JavaFX Script language. After providing a “quick start” in which the reader downloads tools and creates a simple “Hello World” style program, the book proceeds to cover JavaFX Script concepts and constructs mainly in the context of progressively creating an application that creates “word search” puzzles.
