Jaideep Verma, Inderjeet Singh Behl, Ankush Saini · International Journal of Scientific Research in Education · 2013
This hands-on introduction to Swing, the first in a two-part series on Swing programming, walks through the essential components in the Swing library. Java developer and Swing enthusiast Michael Abernethy guides you through the basic building blocks and then assists as you build basic but functional Swing application. Along the way you'll learn how to use models to ease the process of dealing with the data. Most Swing developers know by now that Swing components have a separable model-and-view design. And many Swing users have run across articles saying that Swing is based on something called a MVC (model-view-controller) architecture. But accurate explanations of how Swing components are designed, and how their parts all fit together, have been hard to come by -- until now. The silence ends with the publication of this article, a major white paper on Swing component design. It provides a comprehensive technical overview of Swing's modified MVC structure and demystifies many other facets of Swing component architecture as well.
