Daniel Zimmermann: Building JavaFX applications with Kotlin (#2)
For the second video in this "JFX In Action" series, I talked to Daniel Zimmermann. He got my attention when he recently tweeted: "To your dismay I have to tell you I write all my desktop applications using Kotlin and JavaFX". Why is he a big Kotlin AND JavaFX fan? I asked him and got a demo of the network test application that he is working on.

Daniel Zimmermann is a Java, Kotlin, and JavaFX developer working for cnlab. He is developing an application to test network speeds and detect potential problems.
In the video, he also shows two other JavaFX applications he worked on: Kloster Disentis and Leviat.
You can find Daniel on Twitter and Mastodon.
