JAVA SWING PART 1 | Simple GUI Program Using Apache NetBeans | Introduction to SOL Basics

In this introductory video of the Java Swing playlist, we dive into building a simple GUI (Graphical User Interface) application using Java Swing and Apache NetBeans. Java Swing is a powerful toolkit for creating rich, interactive desktop applications, and this tutorial is perfect for beginners who want to get hands-on with GUI programming in Java.

We begin by explaining the basics of Java Swing and how it allows developers to design user interfaces that are both functional and visually appealing. The video walks you through setting up Apache NetBeans, a widely-used IDE that simplifies coding, debugging, and managing Java projects. By the end of this session, you'll be comfortable navigating NetBeans and using its features to create and run Java programs efficiently.

This tutorial also introduces SOL (Software Oriented Language) basics to help you better understand software structures and how they interact with Java Swing. You'll learn how to structure your code effectively and understand the different components that make up a basic Swing application, like JFrame, JPanel, and buttons.
