Scala Days 2012: Stephen Chin & Luc Duponcheel on JavaFX and Scala - Like Milk and Cookies
JavaFX and Scala - Like Milk and Cookies
JavaFX 2 is the next version of a revolutionary rich client platform for developing immersive desktop applications. One of the new features in JavaFX 2 is a set of pure Java APIs that can be used from any JVM language, opening up tremendous possibilities. This presentation demonstrates the benefits of using JavaFX 2 together with the Scala programming language to provide a type-safe declarative syntax with support for lazy bindings and collections. This presentation will focus on the ScalaFX project, which is a DSL for writing declarative UI code in the Scala language. Usage of advanced language features, such as DelayedInit and @specialized will be discussed, as will ways of forcing prioritization of implicit conversions for n-level cases. We will also identify some of the Scala language constraints that we encountered and our current workarounds. Come prepared to learn about the latest advances in desktop client technology, and participate in a discussion of the state-of-the-art in Scala DSL design. Those who survive the technical portion of this talk will be rewarded with plenty of JavaFX UI eye candy.
