What you need for this book
The examples given in this book utilize the latest release of Java SE 8 at the time of writing, namely the Java SE 8 update 45 JDK edition. Starting with Java SE 8, it comes pre-bundled with the JavaFX 8 that we use throughout this entire book. Also, NetBeans IDE version 8.0.2 is used as an Integrated Development Environment, as well as the JavaFX designer tool Gluon Scene Builder version 8, as general software and tools.
As each chapter is unique in its nature and requires specific software and hardware for the JavaFX 8 examples to run normally, this book provides all the required software, tools, and hardware with detailed explanation on how to install and configure them, in order to run JavaFX 8 examples smoothly.
