Pump Up Your Technical Knowledge
Listen and watch as industry luminaries bring you the latest on Java technologies
JavaFX Script is a compiled, declarative scripting language that runs on the desktop, in the web browser and on mobile devices. It's tightly couple with Java technology for core application functionality, heavy lifting and libraries. It makes special effects and GUI transitions accessible to people who aren't graphic artists or know the intricacies of overriding Swing painters and working with the Java 2D API affine transformations. JavaFX Script is a perfect user-interface compliment for Java applications In the first half of this session we'll look at some powerful language idioms that make special effects, interface transitions and vector graphics accessible to programmers who have not chosen to specialize in advanced Swing and Java 2D. The bind keyword connects model and view and handles two-way propagation of changes. Sequences are a data structure similar to arrays, but allow for things like "all numbers between 1 and 100 that are divisible by 3". Key-Frame animation is used to "animate" the value of variables over time. A very dynamic user interface is possible when you bind things like position, opacity and radius to these values. Triggers allow functionality that is similar to property change listeners. Transform and morphing features make movement, scaling and shape changes possible in one or two lines of code. In the second half and largest part of the session will be spent looking at visually rich examples of what is possible in Java FX Script. We'll look at examples of image transitions, fade-ins, fade-outs, morphing and dynamic insertion of widgets into Swing layouts. Full source code of all examples will be provided. Come expecting to see lots of code. The techniques demonstrated will be directly applicable to both consumer and business applications. No prior knowledge of JavaFX Script is required. It is expected that the attendee will have a working knowledge of Java as there will be many comparisons made between how things are done in Java vs. how they are done in JavaFX Script. Basic knowledge of Swing is helpful, but by no means necessary.
