The JavaFX Script programming language (hereinafter referred to as JavaFX) is a declarative, statically typed scripting language from Sun Microsystems, Inc. As mentioned on the Open JavaFX (OpenJFX) web site, JavaFX technology has a wealth of features, including the ability to make direct calls to Java technology APIs. Because JavaFX Script is statically typed, it also has the same code structuring, reuse, and encapsulation features -- such as packages, classes, inheritance, and separate compilation and deployment units -- that make it possible for your to create and maintain very large programs using Java technology. This series of three articles will help you get started with the JavaFX programming language. Part 1 of this series is an introduction to the JavaFX programming language, targeted to those who are already familiar with Java technology and the basics of scripting languages. Parts 2 and 3 of the series show how to use JavaFX technology to connect to a remote server using technologies such as Remote Method Invocation (RMI) and the Java API for XML Web Services (JAX-WS).
