Quick Start Guide to JavaFX

22-Nov-2014


Last week or so, I completed reading my first book on JavaFX. It wasn' actually an intentional read. I just grabbed that book when it presented itself to me while I was browsing through the shelves in the library.

It wasn't a bad choice, I could say. It was bery basic, really a primer, but it gave me an idea of where JavaFX is leading, towards a more graphics-oriented computing, and it is no longer a very time-consuming activity. At least that is what it looks like on the surface.

Graphics.

Since that is something that catches our attention, what better way to create applications, whether on the desktop, or on the web, but which is expressed in graphics?

I had to return the book today, so I am making a short note now that I would again borrow the same book, re-read and re-read as many times as I can, then grab a new one to further my knowledge.

Fancy every time, a rounded button is designed how? That is one of the things I learned in this JavaFX primer.

Short read, much learning. How's that?

Till then!

C going up the list, actually top of the list

What is C's rise to the top (again) have got to do with me? I mean, I'm using C# in the .NET package, and also VB and ASP. And though I wanted to delve into Java, I've not gone close enough, or even near, to be considered an intermediate-, or even a beginner-level at that.

But for those of you out there who are into Java and C programming languages, I think this news matters. It may be actually dictating the trend (and future employability) of software developers in this arena.

Read on:

----------
"After more than 4 years C is back at position number 1 in the TIOBE index. The scores for C have been pretty constant through the years, varying between the 15% and 20% market share for almost 10 years. So the main reason for C's number 1 position is not C's uprise, but the decline of its competitor Java. Java has a long-term downward trend. It is losing ground to other languages running on the JVM. An example of such a language is JavaFX, which is now approaching the top 20."
