JavaFX 8: Introduction by Example is the book that you absolutely must get hold of if you're interested in JavaFX in any way at all. The authors (Carl Dea, Mark Heckler, Gerrit Grunwald, José Pereda, and Sean Phillips) are all awesome and famous in ... [More] the JavaFX community and the chapters are purely practical and useful, and well written, and even humorous at times. You couldn't ask for a better combination of people and topics in a book dedicated to JavaFX. The chapters are as follows: Getting Started JavaFX Fundamentals Lambdas and Properties Layouts and UI Controls Graphics with JavaFX Custom UIs Media with JavaFX JavaFX on the Web JavaFX 3D JavaFX and Arduino JavaFX on the Raspberry Pi JavaFX and Gestures My current interest lies in the Raspberry Pi and so I was very pleased to find the JavaFX and Raspberry Pi chapter by Mark Heckler and José Pereda and dove in immediately: It's kind of geek humor, but I found it quite funny to read the EPUB version of the book, i.e., a book all about JavaFX, in an EPUB Reader that I've made... in JavaFX! Maybe I'll get to deploy it to the Raspberry Pi soon (once I figure out how to connect my LCD display to the Raspberry Pi): The entire book can be seen as a NetBeans IDE tutorial, since NetBeans IDE is used from beginning to end, which is awesome. Aside from that, everything is useful and practical and, as I said above, you should buy it immediately. As in, right now, this minute: http://www.apress.com/9781430264606 [Less]

Two of the most popular IDEs for developing Java web applications are NetBeans and Eclipse. Both are open-source, and both are available for free. Of the two, we think that NetBeans is easier to use, especially when you're getting started with ... [More] programming. That's why we recommend that you use NetBeans with this book. The above, on page 20 of the brand new still slightly sizzling hot off the presses "Murach's Java Servlets and JSPs (3rd Edition)" (June 2014), by Joel Murach and Michael Urban, is a promising signal to all NetBeans fans everywhere. Indeed, chapter 3 starts with about 10 pages of introductory texts, with screenshots, focused on NetBeans IDE 8. The remainder of the book uses NetBeans IDE throughout, in the instructions and getting started sections, as well. Beyond its clear position on NetBeans IDE, the book consists of 744 pages, making for a very nice doorstop should you manage to read right through it all and remember for all time every single word therein. Section 1 focuses on "getting started right", via beginner texts relating to JSPs, servlets, MVC, NetBeans, Tomcat, and MySQL. Section 2 guides you through all the key topics relating to JSPs and servlets, including HTML5 and CSS3, sessions and cookies, expression language and JSTL. Section 3 takes you on a tour of "essential database skills", from MySQL to JDBC to JPA. Then follows section 4, on advanced topics, which turn out to be JavaMail, SSL, security/authentication, listeners, and JSF. Very nice to see JSF addressed in this way, i.e., after learning everything else, you then learn about JSF (from page 614). The chapters end with sections offering perspectives, summaries, and exercises, to really drive the key points home. Section 5, spanning about 50 pages, shows you step by step how to apply the previous sections of the book in the creation of a music store website. You start with the user interface, then the business layer, then the controller layer, the structure, the database, the data layer, and different user interfaces for different kinds of users, i.e., administrators vs. standard users. A wonderful book. Ideal for self learners, i.e., set aside a few hours each week, for several months, and by the end you'll have learned a lot of good stuff. [Less]

Now that Java is doing its sweet thing on the Raspberry Pi, and before connecting a display to the Raspberry Pi, let's use the host machine, i.e., my Windows laptop, to display the desktop of the Raspberry Pi. 1. Get ... [More] http://sourceforge.net/projects/xming/ and start it with the command below, so that the Raspberry Pi desktop will take over a small part of your screen real estate: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Xming\Xming.exe" :0 -clipboard -screen 0 700x500+125+100@1 At this point, Xming should be started. It provides an empty desktop screen into which Putty will pass the Raspberry Pi desktop. 2. Start the Raspberry Pi and make sure you can connect to it from your host machine (otherwise there's no point in using Putty in the first place, since it exists as an SSH client in this context). 3. Start up Putty. Connect to the Raspberry Pi using the IP of the Raspberry Pi (e.g., 169.254.40.30 in my case). Before making the connection, go to Connection/SSH/X11 in Putty and then put a checkmark next to the "Enable X11 forwarding" checkbox. 4. Now you see the Raspberry Pi login screen in Putty and you can use pi/raspberry, by default, to login. 5. The final step is to type the magical incantation 'startlxde' in the Raspberry Pi, i.e., in Putty, and press Enter. Some garbage appears in Putty and then Xming shows you your Raspberry Pi desktop. Indeed, the Raspberry Pi has a desktop. (I was surprised, too.) Remember that the Raspberry Pi is just like any other computer, just smaller. (And cheaper, i.e., 30 EUR instead of 700 EUR that I paid for my HP ProBook laptop.) Now that you can see your desktop, you can work on connecting an external display device, e.g., a touch screen, to it. And a mouse and a keyboard. All the wisdom imparted above comes from here: http://www.raspians.com/Knowledgebase/setting-up-a-remote-desktop-view-the-pi-on-your-windows-pc/. [Less]

The EJDK (embedded Java development kit) is a new innovation in JDK 8, enabling Java SE Embedded developers to create customized JREs using the JRECreate tool. It was introduced in the blogosphere in March this year, here, by Jim Connors from Oracle. ... [More] NetBeans IDE 8 provides out of the box tools (i.e., no need to install any plugins for this) to let you create customized JREs for embedded devices by integrating directly with the JRECreate tool. Not only that, NetBeans IDE 8 can also deploy the JRE to the embedded device, e.g., the Raspberry Pi. That means you can forget command line tools like ssh, while you can also avoid wasting time to learn how JRECreate works, since all that is delegated to NetBeans IDE 8. In about 10 minutes, all the above pieces are put together, while you'll also learn how to create, debug, and profile applications on the Raspberry Pi: Feedback welcome! [Less]
