Revisiting Rich Client Applications with the JavaFX Preview SDK + New Features

The JavaFX programming language is evolving.  This session starts with a quick demo using scenegraphs, animation, media, and other effects. Then there will be a discussion of some of the newer deployment features since the JavaFX SDK release and the importance of the Java 6 Update N.

Another demo will cover advanced JavaFX topics: Java FX scripting; data handling; Binding the UI to a model; the native JavaFX data structure; Use of triggers to eliminate need for setters; Ways to Deploy your JavaFX application; Dynamic applications for the next generation of web delivered content.

Additional topics will be discussed if time allows +  where to go for more information.
