Course Summary

Home > Courses >Back-End Development Training >Java >Introduction to Java Swing Programming

The Introduction to Java Swing Programming training course is designed to demonstrate the various User Interface (UI) Toolkits available within the Java language, focusing primarily on the Java Foundation Components (JFC), also known as Swing.

The 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). Next, it explores the core Swing component library, covering everything from JFrames to JTables. The course concludes by discussing about general user-interface design principles and packaging Java Graphical User Interface (GUI) applications.
