It takes the power of a modern scene graph\, adds rich animation and multimedia capab ilities\, and extends to the web and beyond with seamless portability. A t the same time\, it leverages the power and breadth of the Java languag e and platform\, allowing full access to existing Java libraries and int egration with Java client technologies like Swing. \;\n \;\nThis session will introduce you to the JavaFX 2 platform from the perspective of a seasoned Java developer. The breadth of JavaFX APIs will be explai ned through several examples that we will build out during the course of the session. In addition\, we will showcase SceneBuilder\, the new Java FX-based GUI building tool for rapid application development. If you hav e heard about JavaFX before\, but were not sure about taking the plunge\ , now is the time to see what you have been missing out on. \;\n \;\nThis talk will provide a theory of operations\, systems description and possibly a demo of a live system. All code will be made available on Github. \;\n \;\n---------- \;\n \;\nSpeaker: Stephen Chin& #13\;\n \;\nStephen Chin is a Java Evangelist at Oracle specializing in UI technology and co-author of the Pro JavaFX Platform 2 title\, whic h is the leading technical reference for JavaFX. He has been featured at Java conferences around the world including Devoxx\, Codemash\, OSCON\, J-Fall\, GeeCON\, Jazoon\, and JavaOne\, where he twice received a Rock Star Award. In his evenings and weekends\, Stephen is an open-source ha cker\, working on projects including ScalaFX\, a DSL for JavaFX in the S cala language\, Visage\, a UI oriented JVM language\, JFXtras\, a JavaFX component and extension library\, and Apropos\, an Agile Project Portfo lio scheduling tool written in JavaFX.
