The Introduction to Java Swing Programming training course explores the various User Interface Toolkits (UI Toolkits) available within the Java language, focusing primarily on the Java Foundation Classes, also known as Swing.
The Java Swing Programming course begins with a base level discussion around rich-client development, event-based programming, and Java’s event model, within the context of the Abstract Windowing Toolkit (AWT). Then the JFC training course transitions into an in-depth exploration of the core Swing component library, covering everything from JFrames to JTables.
The Introduction to Java Swing Programming course concludes with a discussion about general user-interface design principles and packaging Java GUI applications.
