Is learning Java Swing,AWT (GUI Building) really essential??

Post by Nipuna » Sun Aug 05, 2012 8:57 pm

Hi guys.

After a long time I am gonna ask a question. :) Hope you guys help me ;)

As the title says,

Is learning Java Swing or AWT (GUI Building) really essential? This is a question that I always have in my mind.

Because we can develop programs with them by using an IDE like Netbeans.

I've finished watching these videos and practiced them some times ago so I have some knowledge in Java thanks to them :) Including some GUI designing knowledge too. (But not too much complex ones)

Java - Beginner

Then I'll start these intermediate videos. (Already watched first 5)

Java - Intermediate
http://thenewboston.org/list.php?cat=25

So if I have the core knowledge then GUI isn't that much essential right?

Can someone help me to solve this puzzle ? :)




Thanks

It is better have a good idea on them. But as you said GUIs are designed using IDEs to speed up development. So you don't need to go in to deep with them, just have a good idea how those objects are handled, etc...

Thanks friend.

Yes I have an idea how those objects are handled and I can design with some of them also.

So I won't need to bother about them deeply as you said :)


Thanks
