Apologies for not posting anything last week – I was unwell at the start of the week, and spent the rest of the week catching up!

A project I started a while back is slowly gaining steam. The FXDocs project aims to create a comprehensive ‘book’ related to JavaFX. It’s all asciidoc, open for contributors to submit sections, and automatically builds new HTML and PDF output on every commit. If you want to contribute, get in touch!
