So You Want to Write a Java Desktop Application 

This book takes you step by step through the process of building a Java application with Java FX. The aim of the book is to build an application which communicates with a Trivial FTP server. Starting with a basic description of the application each part is fully examined to see how it works. From this understanding the application is designed, and each section fully explained. All the code is provided so the reader can build as they read. By the end of the book they will have a working TFTP client which can exchange files with a server, as well as a good understanding of how to design and build their own applications.
