Hands on JavaFX - Scripting the Scene Graph

Please see here for a photo and directions: https://www.oracle.com/technology/products/rdb/pdf/hqcc_dir.pdf

This presentation is a hands-on introduction to JavaFX, focusing primarily on using the JavaFX Script language to drive interactive graphics using the JavaFX scene graph. I'll start with a "Hello, world" program and build it up piece by piece until we have a complete application. At each step of the way, we'll see the code in NetBeans and run it so you can see the results immediately. I'll be covering the following features of the JavaFX platform: language and scene graph basics, sequences, functions, layout, UI controls, classes, calling Java, bind, bound functions, animation, and effects.

NEW LOCATION: This meetup will be held at Oracle headquarters in Redwood Shores.
