Demos that teach how to create JavaFX custom UI controls

Regarding demos, I'd like to recommend a series of blog posts that I've been creating: In this series, I'm working with graphics designer Mark Dingman of Malden Labs on an imaginary Sound Beans application. The objectives are to show how to create custom UI controls in JavaFX, and to provide a case study in how a graphics designer and an application developer can work together effectively in developing JavaFX applications. Each article contains the source code and Java Web Start to run the application. Here's the link to the series:

Thanks for this article, Matt

Matt,

I appreciate the spirit in which this article was written, and share your sense of urgency. By the way, the demo the "just looks a bit nasty":

is a very basic example of binding in JavaFX Script. The "Watch for Falling Blocks: Take TetrisJFX for a Spin post":

contains a Tetris example that is meant to look more appealing.

Thanks again,

Jim Weaver
