Hi, Hope you are doing well. This post is focus on JavaFx Learning path in 2021.
First of all, If you want to learn JavaFx, You should become a creative.
Let's Start with short Introduction.
What is JavaFx?
JavaFX is the Java Platform’s next-generation GUI toolkit. Isn’t it intriguing? Let’s take a closer look at the idea in this JavaFX tutorial.
JavaFX is a Java library that is used to develop Desktop applications as well as Rich Internet Applications. The applications built in JavaFX, can run on multiple platforms including Web, Mobile and Desktops.
Requirement to learn JavaFx :
Java Knowledge
Basic of Computer Graphics ( optional)
Focus and Dedication
Steps to learn JavaFx :
Step 1: Brush up the Java Skills
If you are good at java, Its time to enhance your skills in JavaFx.
Step 2 : Take an knowledge of all basic and essential components of JavaFx to build structure.
Basics Text, Image , Video formatter
Buttons , Labels , text Field , progress Bar, check box , menu and so on .
Step 3 : Learn Layout Managers
BorderPane
Organizes nodes in top, left, right, centre and the bottom of the screen.
FlowPane
Organizes the nodes in the horizontal rows according to the available horizontal spaces. Wraps the nodes to the next line if the horizontal space is less than the total width of the nodes
GridPane
Organizes the nodes in the form of rows and columns.
HBox
Organizes the nodes in a single row.
Pane
It is the base class for all the layout classes.
StackPane
Organizes nodes in the form of a stack i.e. one onto another
VBox
Organizes nodes in a vertical column.
Step 4 : Now learn about Shapes (2D and 3D)
Create and use 2D shapes like line, rectangle , circles , squares and polygons
Create and use 3D shapes like Cube, cylinder and sphare
Step 5 : Learn about Transformation and Animation
Learn following points:
Translation
Translation is used to change the position of the node. The class javafx.scene.transform.Translate represents the translation.
Rotation
Rotation is used to rotate the object from its origin by a certain angle. The class javafx.scene.transform.Rotate represents the rotation.
Scaling
Scaling is used to alter the size of the node. The class javafx.scene.transform.Scale represents Scaling.
Shearing
Shearing is used to alter the slope of the object in a particular direction. The class javafx.scene.transform.Shear represents Shearing.
Step 6 : Time to Learn Effects
ColorAdjust
This Effect adjusts the color of the node by varying the properties like Hue, Saturation, Brightness, contrast etc. javafx.scene.effect.ColorAdjust class deals with all the stuff regarding adjustments of colors of the node.
ColorInput
javafx.scene.ColorInput class represents ColorInput effect. It makes a coloured rectangle. This displays a rectangular box if applied to a node.
ImageInput
ImageInput effect is used to bind the image to the scene. It basically passes the specified image to some effect
Blend
javafx.scene.effect.Blend class represents the blend effect. This effect joins the pixels of two inputs and produces the combined output at the same location. There are various blend modes defined in the class which can alter the output appearance
Bloom
javafx.scene.effect.Bloom class represents bloom effect. This effect makes the pixels of a few portions of the component glow.
Glow
This effect is very much similar to Bloom. This can make the input image glow by enhancing the brightness of the bright pixels.
BoxBlur
The blur makes the image unclear. JavaFX provides the class javafx.scene.effect.BoxBlur which needs to be instantiated in order to apply the blur effect to the nodes. The Box filter is used in the case of BoxBlur effect in JavaFX.
GaussionBlur
In JavaFX, GaussionBlur is used to blur the nodes. This class uses Gaussion Convolution Kernel for this purpose.
MotionBlur
MotionBlur effect is used to make the nodes blur. By applying this effect, the nodes are seemed to be blurred as they are in motion. javafx.scene.effect.MotionBlur class represents this effect.
Reflection
It adds the reflection of the node on the bottom of the node. The class named as javafx.scene.effect.Reflection represents Reflection effect.
SepiaTone
SapiaTone effect makes the node toned with radish brown color. The class named as javafx.scene.effect.SepiaTone class represents SapiaTone effect. The resulting nodes are similar to antique photographs.
Shadow
This duplicates the nodes with the blurry edges. The class named as javafx.scene.effect.Shadow represents Shadow effect.
DropShadow
This is a high level effect that is used to display the duplicate content behind the original content with the specified color and size.
InnerShadow
This effect displays the shadow inside the edges of the nodes to which it is applied.
Lighting
This effect is used to lighten the node from a light source. This effect is represented by javafx.scene.effect.Lighting class.
Light.Distant
It implements lighting on the node from a distant light source. It is represented by Light.Distant class.
Light.Spot
It implements lighting on a node from a spot light source. It is represented by Light.Spot class.
Light.Point
It implements lighting on a node from a point light source. It is represented by Light.Point class.
Step 7 : Keep Practice and Make Project to increase your efficiency
Make at least 5-8 projects to understand and practice. More project keep you efficient and master in JavaFx.
