Embark on a comprehensive Java desktop application development journey by creating a Sudoku game using JavaFX. Master essential concepts including problem domain classes, constants with enums and static final variables, application container setup, and user interface design with Java interfaces. Dive into custom JavaFX TextField implementation and efficient management of 81 TextFields using HashMap. Explore control logic implementation similar to MVP/MVC patterns, computation logic for game generation and solving, and build logic for separating configuration from use. Conclude with persistence and data storage techniques for local filesystem storage. Gain practical experience in Java programming, desktop application development, and game logic implementation through this hands-on course.
