Right in the tutorial now-a-days. Just curious: how are you learning Swing?


because GUIs are moving over to being web based? Perhaps some
experienced java developers on this ng can comment please? I think
that web development (i.e development of web stds) has a long way to
go before a web page can offer the same rich GUI experience that a
custom-built non-web app can deliver. What do other people think?
Maybe I haven't been looking at the right web pages? Are there really

Web-based is totally different than what Swing or Java will do. Check into Google Web Toolkit (GWT) if you are developing AJAX based web apps.

Otherwise, for regular old Java, Java WebStart (JWS) is pretty much your cup of tea.


No comment on the JTable widget. I haven't used it myself.
