4: Explain design decisions and strategies of the developed program. Explain the approach taken to complete the assessment and the major decisions made. Competency

5: Communicate efficiently, effectively, and in an appropriate manner for an IT professional Communicate efficiently, effectively, and in an appropriate manner for an IT professional.

Developing Your First JavaFX Application In this assessment, you will design and code your first JavaFX application that defines you to the world. The application displays your name and your favorite food in a font of your choice. In addition, the JavaFX application displays a picture of you and a picture of your favorite sport. You can use either the Toolwire environment or your local Java development environment to complete this assignment. The requirements of this application are as follows.

• The application should have the title "About Me by JavaFX"

• Divide the display into four quadrants

• In the upper left quadrant, display your name in the font of your choosing

• In the upper right quadrant, display a picture of yourself

• In the lower left quadrant, display a picture of your favorite sport

• In the lower right quadrant, display the name of your favorite food in the font of your choosing Successful completion of this assignment will show the correct content displayed in the correct quadrant of the JavaFX application. Your program output should look like this sample output: 

1. Create a NetBeans JavaFX application project called "U3A1_ U3A1_AboutMeByJavaFX".

2. Develop the application to meet the stated requirements.

3. Compile and test your application using the provided input data.

4. Make sure to document the result of your testing by taking screenshots of the result of running your application similar to the provided sample output. One screenshot is required for this assignment.

5. Explain your approach you took to complete this assignment and the major decisions you made Hint: To make your JavaFX application very portable:

6. refer to your image files by their names only (i.e. image.png and no path information),

7. store the image files in a separate project folder, and

8. tell NetBeans to get the images from that folder. You can store your image files in a separate folder in your project (commonly called the resources or res folder) and configure NetBeans to treat this folder as a source package folder from which to obtain the desired image files. This way, you simply refer to the image files by their names only in your code. This image shows how to setup a source package for images in NetBeans:
