JavaFX.com – Developing Rich Internet Experiences
In the words of the team behind this initiative, JavaFX is a solution for delivering “rich Internet experiences for all screens of your life”. This is made possible via a client platform that is fully integrated with Java Runtime, and which empowers its users to develop and deploy contents that “jump out of the browser and into our daily lives”.
Such a solution is mainly geared towards web developers and graphic designers, and the corresponding software downloads can be procured at the site free of charge.
Needless to say, the site includes a comprehensive FAQ section that lists the many features of this platform as well as describing the tools that are available with JavaFX 1.0. These include an editor entitled NetBeans IDE 6.5 and a production suite that can be used to convert SVG graphics into JavaFX script code and to export graphics assets.
So far, both Windows and Mac OS are supported. For its part, Solaris and Linux support will be addressed in future revisions.
If you are interested in this solution but can’t seem to realize if you are knowledgeable enough to make the best out of it, you can always follow the learning trail that is provided and check the guides and samples that have assembled for yourself.
