KotlinConf 2019: Desktop Development with TornadoFX by Liz Keogh

Recording brought to you by American Express. https://americanexpress.io/kotlin-jobs JavaFX replaces Swing with new paradigms and a cleaner separation between function and style... but the stylesheet isn't typed and it can be a bit of a pain to work out what's possible. In this session we look at #TornadoFX; a wrapper around #JavaFX that's quick to use, with type safe builders and stylesheets, dependency-injected MVC / MVP, and all the sweet synctactic sugar you'd expect from a Kotlin library.
