Courses

The course guides students through the process of designing a rich client application using JavaFX. Using the Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern and a case study approach, students analyze, design, and develop the UI, connect the UI to a database, and finally connect the UI to a RESTful web service. The UI is built using core Java FX components including layouts, UI controls, data structures like ObservableList, charts, smart tables, CSS, and JavaFX concurrency libraries. Students will learn how to add two- and three-tier functionality to their application by connecting to a database using the Java Persistence API (JPA). Finally, they will learn how to connect their application to a RESTful web service using JAX-RS and the Jersey API.

Other topics are:
  • Package and deploy your application

  • Signing an application and authentication
  • Adding logging to your application
  • Implementing unit tests with JUnit
