"Mastering JavaFX 10: Build advanced and visually stunning Java applications" is a book that receives mixed reviews from readers. On one hand, some readers find the book to be disorganized and lacking in depth. They suggest that beginners should opt for online courses instead, while advanced users may not find much value in the book. However, there are also positive reviews from readers who appreciate the comprehensive nature of the book and its ability to provide clear directions and guidelines for learning JavaFX. The book is particularly helpful for those who are already familiar with previous versions of JavaFX and are looking for new insights and advanced examples. While the book is praised for its coverage of new features in JavaFX 10 and its helpful explanations of concepts like packaging with Java 9 Jigsaw and applying 3D effects, some readers point out that there are typos and grammatical errors in the book, which can be frustrating. Additionally, the code samples provided in the book may not always compile as-is and there are deprecated methods used in some examples. However, readers note that the code samples can still be successfully executed with a few tweaks. One major issue raised by readers is that the book is printed in black and white, while some sections rely on color to convey information. While a PDF with color images is provided, some readers find it inconvenient to switch between the physical book and the PDF. Overall, "Mastering JavaFX 10" can be a useful resource for beginners looking for an introduction to JavaFX and for intermediate users seeking a comprehensive reference. However, it may not be the best choice for advanced users or those looking for fully production-ready code examples.
