Create your first GUI application in jGRASP using JavaFX

Overview

Class Central Tips

This project provides a step-by-step approach to instruction to equip you with fundamental concepts in Graphical User Interface (GUI) programming using JavaFX, from the ground up. Using jGRASP development environment, you will create a program that accepts as input your name and age, and upon clicking a button, display your name and your age. By creating this project, you will master the concepts of using labels, text fields, password text field, grid pane, buttons, and a button event in Java programming with the JavaFX framework. If you are a beginner and this is your first course in Java GUI programming you will benefit from writing a program from a blank sheet to a fully functioning program. If you already have GUI programming experience using JavaFX, this is an opportunity to refresh your skills by going back to basics. No matter your level, you will be able to apply the skills obtained from this course in real-life programming exercises. To provide you with support outside the course, you will find a pool of additional notes and exercises that you can try at home. If you ever wanted to become better at GUI programming using JavaFX by building on your fundamental skills, this project is the right place to start!

Project Overview

In this project, you will create a simple GUI application in jGrasp using the JavaFX framework. The components of the interface will be arranged in a Grid Pane container. The container will consist of five labels for name, age, a secret, and and two types of output. The interface will also contain two text fields where a user's name and age can be entered, and a password field where a secret message can be typed. When a first button is clicked, the hidden message in the password field will be displayed. When a second button is clicked, the name and age of the user will be displayed in the output label.
