Foojay Podcast: The State of JavaFX Framework, Libraries, and Projects
In this episode Pedro talks alongside Java legends and Java Champions: Sean Phillips, Johan Vos, Gail Anderson and Dirk Lemmerman about the state of JavaFX (the Java UI library). It was skillfully hosted by another Java legend and Java Champion Frank Delporte.
The talk was about the current state of JavaFX, the JavaFX framework itself, and also about the libraries and applications that are built with it.

JavaFX Days 2020
Real World Application: A JavaFX CAD Software
This talk is about a recently shipped and currently in use CAD application that Pedro has finished developing for a client, using JavaFX. It can be seen as an application similar to Autocad (which is used in Civil Engineering, Architecture, etc) but with the specific purpose to do energy efficiency assessment. It is an excellent example on the benefit of using JavaFX to develop these kinds of applications. This software was finished in a much smaller time frame and a much smaller budget than other similar projects from competing companies. The users’ feedback to its release has gone way beyond what was expected.
JMetro JavaFX Theme
JMetro is an open source theme for JavaFX. A JavaFX theme inspired by Microsoft Fluent Design. It is being used on production ready applications, some notable examples include the famous NASA’s Deep Space Trajectory Explorer application, NASA’s TODV, applications used by the USA’s White House, etc. Besides changing the appearance of controls, it also changes their behavior, with the addition of new functionality (through the skins API). All of this is done without the developer having to change anything in his code. This talk will focus on what is JMetro, how to use it and notable examples of applications using it.
