Part 3: JavaFX Script Functions

In August and September 2007, John O'Conner of the Sun Developer Network wrote a series titled "Learning Curve Journal" designed to help users get started with the JavaFX Script programming language (shortened to JavaFX Script in the remainder of this article).

The Learning Curve Journal described the use of the interpreter-based version of the language. The Learning Curve Journal has been updated to show you how to use the compiler-based version of the language. Other changes have been made to make the articles current.

The "content aware scaling" feature looks really cool - this is the commercialized version of some work I saw a year or so ago.
