Rich Internet Applications – RIA – do require a strong service access and data access layer located on the back-end, just as traditional or web based applications. It is therefore essential to combine desktop technologies and server technologies in order to provide fast, efficient and secure access to your data.

This lab will teach students how to combine desktop technologies, such as JavaFX™ technologies, and back-end technologies, like web services and REST based services to build state of the art desktop applications.

This lab will go through a very simple example of REST data retrieval and a Java FX graphical representation of these data.
