JavaFX use on IOS and Raspberry Pi
For most JavaFx programmers, this is basically a three chapter introduction to JavaFX. There is also some material for IOS, Raspberry Pi systems and a few interfaces to some interesting hardware, but it falls short on RIA examples.I already have a few JavaFX books I use for reference and examples. This book would be inadequate for either purpose.If your working system is Windows or Linux, you might want to consider 'JavaFX for Dummies'. It's half the price of JavaFX Essentials, but nothing on IOS, Raspberry Pi or other hardware interfaces.
