Java Swing (GUI) Programming: From Beginner to Expert

John needs to write a script and stick to it. His fumbling around as he writes the program is EXTREMELY distracting!

It would be better if higher quality videos are available and also if the software used were more latest then it would be great. voice is also not so clear

Obviously this is only beginning, but I am really excited of the upcoming experience. The properly set up course (which this seems to be) is a million times better than any book documentation one may found.

Der Kurs vermittelt grundsätzlich die Kenntnisse, die man benötigt, um Swing Benutzeroberflächen in Java zu entwickeln. Der Zusatz zum Kurstitel "From beginner to expert" ist allerdings etwas hoch gegriffen, echtes Expertenwissen wird nicht vermittelt. So wird z.B. auf das Thema "Drag&Drop" überhaupt nicht eingegangen. Was mich wirklich gestört hat, dass man dem Instructor wirklich stundenlang beim Tippen bzw. Vertippen zusehen musste und dass er nicht gut auf die Lektionen vorbereitet war. So kam es immer wieder vor, dass Dinge nicht funktionierten oder soeben eingetippter Code nochmals geändert wurde, weil dem Instructor wohl beim Tippen eingefallen ist, wie man das besser machen könnte. Die Beispielapplikation war auch unnötig komplex und lenkte in einigen Teilen stark vom Thema ab. Insgesamt denke ich, dass man das Wissen mit einer dem Thema angemessenen Beispielapplikation und ohne die Live-Tipporgien auch in 2-3 Stunden hätte vermitteln können, weswegen ich 2 Punkte abgezogen habe.

The course is well presented at the proper pace. I am learning alot in the proper way to do programming.

I enjoy the videos and they are deliver in a clear and logical manner. There have been a few instances where the content refers to java 6/7/8 but we are now running on java 17 and lines of code have been changed or rather refined creating a scenario where I need to google for an explanation of the lines.

Not a great learning/lecturing style from the outset. Not really sure I'm learning anything of particular value here.

It was a Great Lecture for #42 lecture. I would like to know how to implement the delete popup dialog option to run the SQL to also delete the record in the mySQL database instead of just removing the row off the table visually.

Everything I have learned thus far fits in very nicely with requirements of a project I am working on. Great course.

Nice course and about somewhat rarely touched topic of java and gui programming - huge plus for that. Biggest disadvantage maybe is that it threats about, very old now, Java 7 - but it wasn't problem for me.

It is so exciting as I did Java at School, as much as I am not working on IT field I still have hope that one day I will get to IT industry.

Doing this for fun. Instructor is very good and easily understandable. i'm not even a person who programs for day job but love it.

I've always wanted to get at least a good depth of Java Swing knowledge... YouTube was just an okay resource, but this course is an absolute eye-opener and a very encouraging one. Thank you for this course, John. I'm sure many like myself have really benefited from this course.

The course is explained very well and is not overwhelming with new concepts. I would have liked the code to be downloadable to help in debugging my code where I made errors.

This course is perfect and relevant even today. I'm learning so much, not only about swing, but MVC and more. There are a few spots of trouble, like the database file not downloading, but you can easily find John's work on GitHub under Cave of Programming or recreate the file from his well-explained videos. I highly recommend this course. Don't be put off by its age.
