• Best Practices for JavaFX 2 Enterprise Applications  (Two-part article on Oracle Learning Library)
• Native Packaging for JavaFX (Creating native desktop application bundle with JavaFX, by the Java Deployment Team)
• Expressing the UI for Enterprise Applications with JavaFX 2.0 FXML (Using The FX Markup Language to build UIs in JavaFX, by Jim Weaver)
• Using Properties and Bindings in JavaFX 2 (Learn about the key JavaFX concepts of properties and binding in Oracle Magazine – free subscription required)
• JavaFX Links of the Week (Jonathan Giles’ weekly post with good links and info)

and

• A brand-new podcast on the Pro JavaFX 2 book with Steven Chin, Jim Weaver, and Donald Smith
