The JavaFX 9 API is now an integrated part of the Java 9 JDK, replacing the Java AWT and Swing "front end" Java UI APIs, which allowed millions of Java developers to craft a multimedia "front end," or 2D user interface design, for their Pro Java applications. JavaFX can be used to create a 3D or i3D (interactive 3D) front-end on Java applications with Java Micro Edition (JavaME), Java Standard Edition (JavaSE) and Java Enterprise Edition (JavaEE) across all popular desktop OSes (Mac, Windows, Linux, Solaris, UNIX) as well as in Android (Phones, Laptops, and Tablets), Android Wear (SmartWatches), Android Things (IoT), and Android TV (Interactive TeleVision Sets). JavaFX apps can also now be ported over to Apple's iOS.

Since two of the largest areas for industry trade shows this year will be all those new iTV Set (Interactive TeleVision Set or Intelligent TeleVision Set or Internet TeleVision Set) products, as well as Interactive 3D (i3D) technology such as Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR) and Mixed Reality (MR), Java 9 and JavaFX 9 are the most popular open source programming languages which enable creation of a game or IoT multimedia content rendering pipeline which includes both i2D (interactive 2D) and i3D (interactive 3D) new media components within the same multimedia content deliverable (Games, e-Books, iTV Shows, Apps, Websites, EPKs, etc.).

Apress Author Wallace Jackson uses open source platforms such as NetBeans 9, Java 9, Android Studio 3, HTML 5.1 and WebGL 2 to create new media content deliverables for brand manufacturer'S clients to use on their consumer electronics devices. These include smartphones, tablets, laptops or iTV Sets (Interactive TeleVision Displays that contain a 64-bit computer) which are often used for affordable digital signage by corporations now that 5 foot iTV Sets can be purchased at a local WalMart, for a few hundred dollars. Mr. Jackson has been creating high-definition widescreen display product content for the major brand manufacturers in the display industry since signing both ViewSonic and OptiQuest over a quarter-century ago in 1992. Mr. Jackson has created custom code and content for dozens of the hi-def display industry manufactures since that time, including Sony and Samsung, and creates iTV content that is optimized down to be mere megabytes in size, rather than the slow, data-heavy gigabyte content that is found on most streaming websites.
