JavaFX Master Class: Create A Banking Application - 2024

I have some knowledge of JavaFX so once I can hook up all the Views with the Controller and create a more seamless GUI experience I'll probably get more benefits from this course.

This course is like sitting down with an advanced guy, just you and him, no fuss, no slides, pair coding with the new guy. So far it's well thought out and moving along well. There's a problem with the screens though. They're washed out and hard to read like a white filter got placed over the screen. I already paid some time ago so I will persevere but newcomers with bad eyes should pass, sadly. It would be 4 stars if not for the bad screens.

Good course to advance in Java Knowledge, design patterns, and JavaFX. I would recommend some basic knowledge of Java before starting, otherwise the concepts may not make sense. I also learned some CSS, which is very helpful! I look forward to updates!

He doesn't explain JavaFX at all, he just talk about pre typed code. No source code to download. No way to follow the lectures. Unfortunately I can't request for a refund. The worst course I have ever watched.

Thanks Patrick for this course. I liked the way you explained how the project is build. Starting from fxml, adding controller and css before going into SceneBuilder. The viewFactory is very great and helped me on my project, thanks for your explanations.

The quality of the screen of the tutor is poor, and we need to see the whole screen because some of the actions done we can't see

Good content from a knowledgeable presenter. However, as with many courses, it misses the opportunity to top and tail the code demonstration with an explanation of the concept. For example, I am on section 23 where layouts are being explained, and I am staring at his Windows desktop. The explanation is good, but a slide or two is really needed for clarity

Good course, but I wouldnt say its great. He just talks about theory without showing some pictures so we could easily understand the concept. Like in some other courses I have taken, instructors tend to give an example about theory with pictures. That helped me understand the concept easier.

Excellent explanation of JavaFx and the different design patterns, if I think it is required to enter the course with some basic knowledge about the programming language Java so you can understand it without problems. 100% Recommended, it is a pity that the instructor only has this course.

Very clear and detailed explanations of lots of different elements. Before this I didn't realize what the purpose of all the different layouts were or how to use them properly, but now I'm way more competent with them. This was by-far the best FX course I've taken on Udemy, maybe one of the best courses in general; very impressed. Then he builds a very clean app by the end of it incorporating a lot of the pieces you learned prior.

I think this course is pretty good, especially considering the lack of JavaFX material out there. I guess it makes sense since it's not used as commonly anymore, but I'm glad that there are tutorials out there like this for us enthusiasts! I would like to say that there are occasions in this tutorial where he just talks and has his Windows background on the screen for the whole time doing nothing. I understand that it was more of a lecture than a demonstration, but I think even some simple slides with bullet points of what you were talking about to give the audience something to look at while you speak would have highly increased the quality of this tutorial. Just some feedback for future reference, thanks again!

Waste of time. For objective problems, the first 2 minutes are spent creating boiler plate classes/code for a new example, which is about 20% of the video, then another 25% of the video is spent manually importing javafx classes because he uses eclipse. Then around 15% is actually spent typing a few lines of javafx to make a very simple example. The last 40% is spent on demoing very boring applications and making tiny parameter changes (including copy pasting to repeat stuff and changing the values without editing out the time) and demoing the resultant change. As for more subjective critiques, the instructor showcases 1 video of Java8 lambda expressions early on (without explaining them), and then *never* uses them when creating elements later in the videos. Their naming conventions are far from java: variable names are in complete lowercase (not even lower_snake_case) and then methods are in PascalCase. They also use methods like String.valueOf(primitive type) when already in a string concatenation, and deprecated methods like new Double(d). Basically the only things you learn is the existence of UI elements that you could already find in SceneBuilder. I don't recall layouts ever being covered and/or when to use what and why. The calculator project is poorly done in terms of UI components (using multiple HBoxes for buttons instead of a GridPane for example). The database interaction looks sad, so I didn't waste my time to see a crummy implementation. I chose to buy this because it had decent ratings and it was a massive flop. I then searched for other JavaFX courses and found a smaller one by Patrick T that I highly recommend instead of this. You'll spend just as much time watching and learn infinitely more real techniques

Nice course at a good speed, not to fast , not to slow, just perfect. I learned a lot. I do hope the follow up course will be available soon What i do like to see is for the follow up course * Packaging of the application using maven * Sql improvements ( preparestatements for example and closing the connections when needed ) ( you already mentioned that in the future you wanted to get away of sqlite so i guess it will be done ) Some features used are for Intellij Ultimate only ( like extract method from duplicate code ). For beginners new to "java" and using the free version and/or different IDE it could be helpful to go a bit slower or at least show the full refactored code so it is easier to follow along.

Amazing content and speed at which this is delivered. I am enjoying the content and excellent course indeed.
