Java 15: More about JavaFX

Description

This book is a continuation to Java 14 and together the two books give a good background for using JavaFX. The current book has focused on JavaFX properties and data bindings, but also treats the basic architecture of a JavaFX application as Model-View-Presenter. Other important topics are advanced controls like TableView and TreeView and also topics like drag-and-drop, charts, and 3D graphics are treated.
