Over the last couple months Richard Bair, Martin Brehovsky and I presented talks introducing JavaFX at Devoxx 2008, Sun Paris Tech Day and IJTC 2009 (Irish Java Technologies Conference). There are 2 versions a longer one for Devoxx and a more condensed version for Paris and IJTC. For those of you interested here are the slides and demos:

During the talks we built up a simple demo with what you learn in each section.

Here are the links so you can webstart the demos for the different sections, I started at Demo 2d as that is the first version with working close button which is always helpful 🙂

Here is the Netbeans project and source files for these demos so you can play with them.
