Session agenda
Java was originally created as a language for client devices. It became very popular though as a platform for server-side and cloud development. There are plenty of reasons why Java had a difficult time on the client, but a lot of those difficulties are resolved now.
With JavaFX, the Java platform has a modern, efficient, and fully featured toolkit for the development of cross-platform user interfaces that can be deployed on desktop, mobile, and embedded devices.
The OpenJFX project defines the JavaFX API’s and implementations that allow developers to create modern, platform-independent user interfaces using Java.
At the top-level, JavaFX provides an API that is very similar to the standard Java API’s developers are used to. At the lower level, the JavaFX rendering pipeline integrates with all kinds of native devices, e.g. desktop systems, but also mobile and embedded devices.
In this session, Johan will explain the structure, components, and roadmap of the OpenJFX project.
