Key benefits

  • Learn the differences between JavaFX using Java and JavaFX using TornadoFX
  • Create beautiful and maintainable JavaFX applications with TornadoFX
  • Understand JavaFX components and how they are easily created with TornadoFX

Description

JavaFX has been around for quite a long time. It's powered by Java and has been used to build desktop applications, as well as Rich Internet Applications (RIAs). Although the Java programming language has been known for its portability, it has its pitfalls, one of which being its verbosity, wherein developers must write a lot of lines of code to make a simple GUI. TornadoFX, a lightweight JavaFX framework for Kotlin, simplifies JavaFX development by abstracting the verbose, hard-to-maintain Java code. TornadoFX, powered by the statically typed JVM language, Kotlin, makes it easy to build rich, feature-packed user interfaces. Besides, it greatly minimizes the amount of code needed to build JavaFX applications, making the codebase easy-to-maintain and extend. This course starts off by explaining the importance of using TornadoFX. In the sections that follow, you’ll understand how to set up the development environment to start using it. Later, you’ll cover the different shapes and animations in TornadoFX. To help you get hands-on experience, the course will even guide you through developing exciting applications, right from a weather forecast application through to a budget tracker application. By the end of this course, you’ll be equipped with the skills you need to confidently create JavaFX applications using TornadoFX. All the codes and supporting files for this course are available at - https://github.com/PacktPublishing/TornadoFX-Build-JavaFX-Applications-with-Kotlin

Who is this book for?

What happens if an Early Access Course is cancelled? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

If you have any feedback about the product you're reading, or Early Access in general, then please fill out a contact form here and we'll make sure the feedback gets to the right team. 

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter. The new chapters are automatically added to your account, so you can also check back there any time you're ready and download or read them online.

I am a Packt subscriber, do I get Early Access? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

How do I buy Early Access content? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Early Access is a way of us getting our content to you quicker, but the method of buying the Early Access course is still the same.

What is Early Access? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created. With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.
