JavaFX 8 offers a lot of excellent features to create modern and interactive user interfaces. However, in addition to a shiny UI there are other important issues that must be considered when creating enterprise business applications with JavaFX. This talk gives an overview of the various best practices on solving problems like client-server communications (transport), asynchronous vs synchronous tasks, MVC/MVP framework patterned approaches and designing of complex dialog window flows. Although the JavaEE platform already defines decent data binding solutions when developing JavaFX applications, this session will demonstrate 3rd party frameworks such as DataFX, ControlsFX and Open Dolphin. These 3rd party frameworks provide useful features that will ease development, thus reducing time and money on your enterprise projects. By learning these JavaFX enterprise APIs and techniques a developer will be able to focus on application building instead of the underlying plumbing.
