Source Code

There are three source folders on this site:

• chapter-code The complete and commented version of the code samples for the first edition of the book;
• chapter-code-2ndEdition The complete and commented version of the code samples for the second edition of the book.
• solutions-code The complete version of the code file for selected exercises. The code files are referenced from the appropriate solutions pages.

Although you can browse the code on GitHub, the recommended way to peruse the code samples is to clone the repository. The repository includes the configurations files necessary to build the code automatically in Eclipse. However, because some code relies on the JavaFX library, you also need to:

1. Download the JavaFX SDK and unzip it to a desired location;
2. Create a new User Library under Eclipse -> Window -> Preferences -> Java -> Build Path -> User Libraries -> New
3. Name it JavaFX and include the jars under the lib folder from your unzipped JavaFX download location.

Web Version of the Code with Additional Documentation

NEW! You can now view all the chapter code samples with additional on-demand documentation accessible directly from the code. Check out our Cascading Documentation (CasDoc) demo.

Practice Exercises

The exercises are meant to be completed in order, after studying each chapter. Exercises tagged with a star (:star:) are challenging and those tagged with a magnifying glass (:mag:) are based on the exploration of the sample applications.
