Data capture is pretty weak at the moment, you'll be bailing out to swing controls pretty quickly (e.g. want a multi-line text control?) Since all that's likely to change in 1.5 / 2.0 - you might want to leave that until the last part of the course and start with the bread and butter (animation, media, effects etc).
Include stuff about getting things off the EDT and the network request stuff - as well as mixing Java and JavaFX. And definitely include some stuff on deployment (applet vs WebStart, supported platforms etc) On Dec 26, 7:21 am, Jan Goyvaerts <[email protected]> wrote: > Hey guys, > > I've been asked at work to prepare a three-day JavaFX course.
