The JavaFX Cookbook

Posted by: Vladimir Vivien on 08/26/2010

You know that feeling you have after you run (if you run) a long distance that you have been trying to break for the longest. Well, I have that same feeling of hard-work-pays-off with the publishing of my first book “JavaFX 1.2 Application Development Cookbook.” As of yesterday, 8/25/10, I received a note from Packt Publishing that the book is going to the printer and I will have my copies soon.

Despite all the delays and the inevitable curve balls life throws at you (I had quite a few last and this year), the book is done. Like anything worth doing its a gratifying feeling. Now, let’s see if Oracle will come out with some extraordinarily good news for JavaFX (at JavaOne 2010) to give wind to my JavaFX wings.

Go to http://www.javafxcookbook.com/ for how-to’s and tutorials and (if you don’t mind) pick up a copy of the book. Thanks!
