Any good replacements to Java Swing?

Question

I'm a beginner programmer. I've taken a few classes on Object Oriented deigning, but they all used Java. Java is fine for non-graphical programs, but swing is just disgusting. Is there something better I can use? I don't think it'll be difficult for me to switch to a new programming language. And I'm not looking for a simple d&d interface, I'm sick of those (unless it mostly involves actual code). Any suggestions?

Answer 1

Python is what you are looking for. Most of the GUI programs written on Linux these days use Python and they look pretty good. There is a port for Windows and Macs as well. Good luck.

Answer 2

Swing is a widget toolkit for Java. It is part of Sun Microsystems' Java Foundation Classes (JFC) — an API for providing a graphical user interface (GUI) for Java programs.



Swing was developed to provide a more sophisticated set of GUI components than the earlier Abstract Window Toolkit. Swing provides a native look and feel that emulates the look and feel of several platforms, and also supports a pluggable look and feel that allows applications to have a look and feel

Answer 3

reward of Swing aspects a million.Swing aspects are light-weight (a lot less source wide than AWT) 2.Swing substances outfitted-in double buffering 3.Swing substances paint debugging help for once you construct your own aspects >Swing also has some hazards: a million.It calls for Java 2 or a separate JAR report 2.in case you re no longer very careful at the same time as programming, it should be slower than AWT (all aspects are drawn) 3.Swing aspects that look like interior of sight aspects may no longer act precisely like interior of sight aspects

Answer 4

You can look into SWT with has a simpler API. Also look into the various GUI Builders like NetBeans. There are Probably Java bindings for GTK and other GUI toolkits as well.



Really, there isn't anything wrong with Swing, IMHO.
