JavaFX In Action #19 with Gerrit Grunwald, Creator of Many Amazing JavaFX Libraries
Gerrit Grunwald, also known in the Java community as HanSolo on social media, created many JavaFX libraries and blog posts. I wanted to talk with him about his work with JavaFX, but I also learned more about SVGs and how the garbage collectors in the JVM work, thanks to the amazing visualizations he creates with … JavaFX of course.
