There is an unsupported (read - can be removed in future without notice!) command line option with JavaFX compiler. If you run javafxc as
javafxc -XDdumpjava Test.fx
the compiler generates intermediate Java code for your JavaFX program in "./dumpjava" directory (compiler expects you to create ./dumpjava directory before invoking javafxc). This is meant to be a debugging option for JavaFX compiler developers. But, you can look at generated Java code to see what happens behind the scenes - much like C++ programmers used to look at intermediate C code and/or preprocessed code.
I missed attending and speaking at Sun Tech Days at Hyderabad due to a personal reason 
In fact, I prepared slides for a talk titled "JavaFX for Java, JavaScript programmers". This is much like my earlier language comparison blog entries such as Java, JavaScript and Jython, Java, Groovy and JRuby etc. The idea is to learn a language by language comparison - and not to conclude "better"/"worse" language and so on. So, no politics please 
Although I could not attend Sun Tech Days, I am posting the slides here :
