+  * A [JavaFX-based statistical calculator](https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7139904558327099392/): "Quickly compute mean, median, mode, and variance with an intuitive user interface."
+  * A [Dynamic Background Demo](https://github.com/heshanthenura/DynamicBackground) that dynamically adjusts the background image to fit the screen dimensions. It utilizes JavaFX's Stage and ImageView components to create a responsive background. The app also includes functionality to open a new window, demonstrating basic window management in JavaFX. The video shows a cool use of multiple windows in one application.
+  * And on Foojay.io, his first blog was published: [Creating Executables For JavaFX Applications](https://foojay.io/today/creating-executables-for-javafx-applications/): "Let's take a look in this article at the current state of what can be done with jpackage and GitHub Actions to create executables for JavaFX applications."

+* [**Almas Baim** shared a new proof-of-concept of the node inspector panel](https://twitter.com/AlmasBaim/status/1734865416697114945) (on the left) in FXGL, which allows editing various node properties: "This way each dialogue node in the main UI just captures the text associated with it and reduces visual clutter".

There is also a [JavaFX CDI Archetype](https://github.com/fuinorg/javafx-cdi-archetype) based on it that allows easily bootstrapping your own project.

+  * In the coming weeks, months... we will be adding more of this, including new videos.
+  * [Learn JavaFX](https://www.jfx-central.com/learn-javafx): from getting started with JavaFX to all the components that are available. This will become the largest section.
+  * [Learn JavaFX for Mobile](https://www.jfx-central.com/learn-mobile): how to create applications for Android and iPhone.
+  * [Learn JavaFX on Raspberry Pi](https://www.jfx-central.com/learn-raspberrypi): build user interfaces on the Raspberry Pi to interact with electronic components.
+  * Thanks to [**Florian Kirmaier**](https://www.jfx-central.com/people/f.kirmaier) and [**Li Wang Yang**](https://twitter.com/LeeWyatt_7788) for the integration of this new section in JFX Central and some required new features in JPro!
