Ales Bednarik Czech republic I have started the first session, but finished with the second one. Anyway I appreciate Sang Shin's and others' effort to provide this oportunity to learn the JavaFX technology.
Baishan Peng New Zealand Greate training course with well organised reading and exercises, thank you very much for providing such a fantastic online course!
Cory Hsiung Canada Thank you for the course, its a really great way to getting your feet wet in JavaFX!
Daniel Matteoni Czech Republic The course was great, thank you very much!
David Pease UK This has been a great introduction to the features of JavaFX, thanks. I hope more topics and exercises are added in the future.
Dobrin Greshkov Bulgaria That was the best start into java for me. Thanks for all. I hope we go ahead. Regards from Bulgaria.
Dora Dimitrova Bulgaria The course is invaluable in providing effective and efficient learning and training in JavaFX programming. It is pretty informative and inspiring, and saves lots of time and effort of everyone who wants to stay in line with the recent technologies. Thank you, with passion;)
Edgar Gabriel Moreno Torres Mexico Thanks Sang Shin! Nice Online Course !!!
Haris Drapic Sweden It is very good idea ot have one course,free and open for everybody. This way I want to thank you and the others which were included in some way in the course creation. You are collected the great material for javaFX.
Jacques Bergmans Netherlands After reading a book about JavaFX I thought this course would be simple. But it showed me that there are many aspects to JavaFX. JavaFX has great potential, but it still has many rough edges. Some things are great, other things are more cumbersome (especially when comparing it to Groovy).
Jerry Yanhui Zhao Australia I finished this course with PASSION!
Jim Beers USA This course has been a lot of fun, thanks for providing this. I've already signed up for my next course, Groovy and Grails. I hope to have good luck with that one as well.
John Fantry US  
Jorge Salvo Spanish Good intro to JavaFX. Let's hope this technology start taking some share of the market
Juan Felipe Maillane Tabares    
Michel Mihai DINCA France This really is a great course and I will definitely subscribe in order to participate to further courses like this. JavaFx is a relatively new technology on the market, information about it is scarce, it is remarkable to have a course concerning it.
Massimo Ferrara Italy Dear Sang, this is the third certificate and I think I will do other courses. Very good.;)
Nikolay Shalunov Estonia This course is my first experience of JavaFX. I found it very interesting and I'll continue practising. Thank You very much.
Nina Nikolova Bulgaria That was a really useful course! Thank you!
Robert Worrall England Another useful and practical course.
Rey A. Barcelon Philippines Thanks and Best Regards.
Russell Michell New Zealand the course was very interesting and challenging! Thank you for taking the time to set the course up. If you're interested, I have one comment/feedback to add about the course: Some of the homework descriptions could be a little less terse, more descriptive. A few bullet points illustrating what was expected becuase some of the Homework explanations took me a while to figure out what exactly was expected of me. Using standard bullet-points instead of a sentence, would have been very helpful. :-) Thank you once again Sang Shin (and Jim Weaver) and best of luck to you in the future.
Seyed Ali Jamali Iranian Fantastic explanation and presentation file . I love your method but suggest to add video presentation if is possible . Again many many thanks .
Sung H. Powley United States / Korea Thank you for getting my feet wet with JavaFX. Java is still fairly new to me and I've thoroughly enjoyed the course content and I hope to revisit this material as JavaFX evolves. I've taken several of these courses now - I'm finishing up on the Java EE 6 one-week Online Codecamp. Thank you!
Telly Stroumbis USA I've enjoyed this course and learning JavaFX. By taking a course, I've gotten exposure to capabilities of the language that I may not have found if trying to learn this on my own. Of course two important aspects for learning are seeing plenty of examples and developing on your own and this course has plenty of both. Thanks for putting this together and making it freely available
Vonnie Kinsey USA What a great course. I have two library books on JavaFX. All the book information is covered in this course. This course is thorough and challenging. I'm grateful to have this learning opportunity.
Wagner da Silva Borges Brasil This was another excellent course of Sang Shin and company. Very good, congratulations. And we continue to learn java with passion.

Adrián del Campo Spain The course was great but some homeworks were so easy and/or boring, such as the javafx with java.
André Vink The Netherlands This course is great for leaning JavaFX by doing. The presentations focus at the core knowledge and one does not get buried into details. I recommend this course to each Java programmer who wants to start Java FX. Sang Shin, thank you very much.
Andreas Vorgeitz Germany Yes, this is a great course, indeed. The examples are explained in every detail and i could feel that you invested a lot of time and passion into the material. The homework was thoroghly choosen (never too hard, but sometimes challenging) although i grew a bit tired of the shark 17 at the end ;-) Perhaps for the next course you could change the widgetfx homework to "take any of the last project and convert it into a widget or create your own including at least configuration dialog with one option". It would be interesting how many different widgets you would get, since some of the people in the course are pretty creative. My favourite homework was the candle and I think it would be nice to see a pic composed of all the candles :-) Thank you very much for the nice experience.
Anup Francis India Sang Shin, This is a wonderful course and a great way to get introduced to the world of javafx. Thanks for collecting and creating such good hands-on tutorials for the developers world wide.
