An Introduction of JavaFX Script to Java Programmers (Part 1)
By Robert Eckstein and the Authors of the JavaFX Programming Language Reference, July 2007
JavaFX Script is a highly productive scripting language that enables content developers to create rich media and content for deployment on Java environments. This article, aimed at traditional Java developers, is a brief but thorough introduction to Sun's exciting new technology.

JavaFX Pad - A JNLP that starts the JavaFX Pad application, wuhich will allow yo to iteratively enter JavaFX code and watch the results at the same time.

OpenJFX Website - The Official Site for JavaFX Technology.

Getting started with the JavaFX Script for Swing Programmers - This tutorial shows you how to use the graphical widgets present in the JavaFX scripting language. Because many of these widgets map directly to the underlying Swing components, those who are familiar with programming Swing will be able to read quickly through this document.

JavaFX Script 2D Graphics Tutorial - Similar to JavaFX Pad, this JNLP will help you learn to use the 2D graphics functionality inside JavaFX technology.

JavaFX - Sun's Latest Java Innovation for Rich Web Applications

JavaFX, the latest member of the Java Technology Family.
The Big Picture from Sun Microsystems.

The needs for the Developers to create secure, interactive content, applications and services that runs on a variety of clients made way to the Development of JavaFX.

To simplify and speed up the development and deployment of high-impact content for a wide range of devices, Sun is introducing JavaFX, a new family of products based on Java technology designed to enable consistent user experiences, from desktop to mobile device to set-top box to Blu-ray Disc.

Java Technology-based development of Rich Internet Applications (RIA), Available today are JavaFX releases, JavaFX Script and JavaFX Mobile.

JavaFX Script
A new scripting language, that gives Java Developers the power to quickly create content-rich applications for the widest variety of clients, including mobile devices, set-top boxes, desktops, even Blu-ray discs. Content creators now have a simple way to develop content for any Java Powered consumer device.

JavaFX Mobile
A complete software system for mobile devices available via OEM licenses to carriers, handset manufacturers, and other companies that want to simplify and accelerate the development of a powerful standardized software system that can be leveraged across a wide range of consumer devices.

JavaFX allows content creators to create rich media content without relying on developers, including drag and drop of deskp and mobile content to the desktop, something that is not possible in any other RIA.

JavaFX Script offers a close integration with other Java components (applications and infrastructure) running on server and client platforms, enabling a rich end-to-end experience for developers and users.

JavaFX Script takes advantage of the Java security model so consumers can securely access assets (e.g., pictures, music files, word documents) on their desktop.

JavaFX Benefits

Increases developer productivity
Offers an intuitive language design
Requires less code
Enables faster development cycles
Zero loss of functionality across devices
