JavaFX has been released on 4th of December 2008, a new technology by Sun Microsystems. JavaFX is a collection of software’s that allow us to create rich Internet applications (i.e. web applications). These applications will have functionality as well as features similar to the functionality and features of a traditional desktop application. The best thing that potentially sounds very nice is the capability of making multimedia applications. The applications can be for desktop, mobile, TV and other platforms.  There are 2 components of JavaFX, the two being JavaFX script and JavaFX Mobile.

The JavaFX script is a declarative language intended to make the swings (import java.swing.*; // for those who know java) easier to use for the interface programming. I liked the fact that it is not an expansion of the awt library class. As I think the look and feel of swing is far better than the awt library class.

JavaFX Mobile, this features a Java standard Edition and Java micro edition implementation running on top of a Linux kernel.
