JavaFX links of the week, December 21

by Jonathan Giles | Dec 20, 2015 | Links

I hope everyone is starting to wind down for the holiday season, I know I certainly am. It seems like perhaps the Java desktop community bloggers are also starting to take it easy before the holidays, as the links this week are a fair bit quieter than normal. In any case, I hope everyone has a festive and safe holiday season, and I will see you on the other side! Enjoy 🙂

• Gluon posted an interview with Saxonia Systems about how they are working on Scene Builder together.
• Robert Ladstätter has blogged about using the JavaFX TableView control from Scala.
• Carl has blogged about sprite programming with JavaFX and Scene Builder.
• David Bell has a post about a game he has created with JavaFX.

A bunch of great links this week. Enjoy 🙂

• Dirk Lemmermann has two posts this week. Firstly, a post titled ‘JavaFX is Here to Stay!‘, and secondly a post titled ‘Cool: JavaFX in the Browser!‘. I think both titles are relatively self-explanatory 🙂
• Jens Deters has announced the release of FontAwesomeFX 8.7.
• Speaking of Jens, he has also announced the release of MQTT.fx 1.0.0.
• Alexander Casall has posted an interview with Benjamin Gudehus about the current state and future of TestFX.
• Hendrik Ebbers has posted a Dolphin Platform jump start blog post, to help get people up to speed on using Dolphin Platform in their own projects.
• Speaking of Hendrik, he has two smaller posts. Firstly, on creating round images with JavaFX, and secondly, styling a JavaFX Scrollbar.
• Rob Terp continues to improve his NetBeans Plugin to improve support for automatic generation of getter / setter / property methods for JavaFX properties.
• AsciidocFX 1.4.3 has just been released – this is a very nice app if you are writing AsciiDoc documentation.
• If you are interested in learning JavaFX, I just stumbled upon this training course that is (apparently) free right now (down from $49). I have not taken it so I can’t speak to its quality.
