by Andres Almiray, Canoo 

As the official successor of Java Swing, JavaFX provides a powerful platform for “Rich Internet Desktop” applications. Because of its plain Java APIs JavaFX is straightforward to learn and gives you the opportunity to reuse all the existing Java libraries. No longer are you required to learn a new language, you only have to get accustomed to a new API. In this workshop we’ll tour the JavaFX APIs and few tools that should get you started in the right path to build JavaFX applications from scratch or migrate existing Swing applications to JavaFX.
