An introduction to Java programming for the Raspberry Pi
What you will learn
Build a JavaFX application on PC
Instal Java and other tools on the Raspberry Pi
Interact with electronic components on the Raspberry Pi with Java
Run a JavaFX application on a Raspberry PI
Description
In this course I want to give you a quick getting-started with Java 11 and JavaFX 11 (and newer) on the Raspberry Pi.
It’s definitely not a full course on Java and JavaFX (there are already a lot of very good ones here on Udemy), but a guide to what you need to get a recent Java running on a Pi and to be able to control the GPIO’s via Java and show it in a nice dashboard-like JavaFX application.
