Is it worth developing JavaFX for Web, Mobile and Desktop?

10

I would like to know how JavaFX is going, if it is already consolidated, if it is still bet. I really liked the look and the "Write once, run everywhere" .

Instead of answers I hear only crickets singing. It seems to me that it is not consolidated.

It can not be bet either, since it's quite old.

Web interface

Companies that decide the direction of the web interface have decided that it is HTML; more precisely HTML5.

Who dared to challenge trying to force the bar with interfaces that run in the browser but actually render the screens using compiled code (Silverlight, Flex, the infamous Flash and Java FX itself) had its tools classified as second class citizens and are increasingly disused and less popular.

Write once run everywhere - mobile platforms

HTML5 has also been heavily used with the aim of write once run everywhere on mobile platforms through tools such as PhoneGap and Intel's App Framework / em>.

There are also companies that create container to run HTML5 applications on different devices.

This method may not be the best way to get the best Android app or best iOS app yet, but it is likely to be the lowest cost and fastest to launch a product early and tweak it later using the platform-specific tools.

Write once run everywhere - multiplatforms (mobile, desktop, web)

The most commonly used technique for this is currently "normal" web pages; eventually, but not necessarily with a responsive layout (the layout fits according to the device used to view the page).

Depending on the application you are going to make and the target audience, this can serve you well.

In this case, on the server side you use the platform you want. And, if your system design is right from the start, you expand the system to run on other devices just by writing new interfaces according to the platform - the back end code remains the same. >
