A complete introduction for beginners to Sun's powerful JavaFX scripting language JavaFX is a scripting language which provides built-in properties for manipulating objects within a 2D coordinate system. A competing technology to Microsoft's Silverlight, JavaFX provides the tools to fill and pen stroke colors, and create special effects, shapes and lines. It also manipulates images and play videos and sound and defines animations that affect objects over time. This complete introduction for any level doesn't bury you with details. It starts quickly with an introduction to the power of JavaFX key features--scene node graphs, nodes as components, the coordinate system, layout options, colors and gradients, custom classes with inheritance, animation, binding, and event handlers. It then shows step-by-step how these features could be used in a real JavaFX application and will help an application look professionally designed.

JavaFX has changed dramatically since this book was written. I imagine there are other version of the book which have the updated approach but the version I had was unlikely to be of much use to a programmer.
The version of FX for which this was written used a new intermediate language (more like scala than java) to describe models. These have been replaced in newer versions with conventional java method calls.
Check which version of FX the book is for before you buy!
