About Swing
SWING is a graphic user interface toolkit for JAVA and was developed as an improvement over the earlier, less sophisticated Abstract Window Toolkit (AWT). It is a part of Oracle’s Java foundation classes to provide GUIs for Java programs.
Compared to AWT, SWING has a number of more powerful and flexible components and in addition to popular components like buttons, checkboxes, labels etc, SWING provides much more such as tree, lists etc. In sharp contrast to AWT, Swing component implementation is not done by platform specific code but are written in Java and are therefore platform independent. Such elements are termed ‘lightweights’.
Swing introduced a mechanism where the look and feel of a GUI can be altered without much change in the application code. After being distributed initially as a separate downloadable, Swing has been inbuilt part of Java standard edition since release 1.2. All Swing components and classes are present in javax.swing package.

Testimonials:
Stuart, programmer:
Although I had learnt GUI programming in Java, I hadn’t used it much. When the need arose, I took up this course to help myself revise the portion I had known before. The simplicity of language and clarity of instruction is commendable and the sequence of the videos is perfectly done to ensure a smooth learning curve. It is a great tutorial for beginners and old-timers alike.
Jenny, student:
I registered for this course to help with a project I was doing for college. And since I needed to learn in a very limited time, the online learning platform was ideal for me. The course, being well segmented, allowed me to choose certain portions of the course that I needed to understand better for the project and that helped me a lot. I would love to recommend this course to all my fellow students
Blake, school teacher:
I took up this course simply out of curiosity. The videos are clear and the language and instructions are very simple and easy to follow. I had very basic knowledge of core Java but I had no trouble keeping up with the course. Also, the online platform really helped me as it allowed me to time the course according to my schedule. It was a very informative course and I would love to take up other similar courses in the future.
