Learning JavaFX GUI Development Part 1 Notes

The beginning of my Java Programming improvement is to learn and utilize JavaFX effectively and efficiently. I will be adding posts that will cover my day notes on the lecture and online course that are teaching me these concepts. Today will be just another day that will continue moving forward.

JavaFX Threads

JavaFX Application Thread

• Primary thread used by developers to deploy applications
• Different from the Swing and AWT EDT Thread
  

Prism Render Thread 

• Seperates the handling of rendering from the event dispatcher

Media Threads 

• Runs in the background and syncronizes the latest frames.

JavaFX Scene API Nodes

•  Shapes (2D and 3D), images, and media
  
• Embedded web browser, text, and UI controls 
• Charts and Graphs

My following post after this will be a challenge program to which I will upload the challenge to see if anyone else would like to take a shot and post their solutions. By the end of the day you guys should expect to see a completed challenge and an answer to whether or not your code is functioning rightl.
