Java Video Tutorial 30

You asked for a giant tutorial that covers every Swing component, and in this tutorial I deliver. This is a big Java Swing Tutorial!

Here I create a complicated Java Swing layout. I set up everything in a GridBagLayout, but add a Box and  FlowLayout to it.

I then show you how to use all of these components: JLabel, JTextField, JComboBox, JSpinner, JSlider, JRadioButton, ButtonGroup, JCheckBox, JTextArea, JScrollPane, ChangeListener, pack and more.

Feel free to ask questions. It is normally better to avoid extending it. As you learn more you'll find out that inheritance is best avoided if possible, but that is a more advanced topic

Thank you :) I wish I could live up to the compliments you guys give me.

OMG, used one and a half afternoon and finished all the swing tutorial videos. Following the video while coding in Eclipse really help me master Java Swing. Great Video. Much Appreciated!

I'll see if I can make a menu tutorial. Sorry about missing that. I have used Window Builder. Give it a try and see if you like it developers. google.

[derekbanas]

I wish you luck. It's pretty easy to make just about anything. Just download all of the code and copy and paste. I've only ever had two huge successes online. The ideas are the hardest thing to come across

[derekbanas]

I have at least an additional year of Java related videos planned. I'm glad you like them :)

You are a credit to society my friend....Thank you for all these wonderful tutorials...You are better than all my Programming teachers combined....Keep doing what your doing !!!

[OneCoolDude]

We all appreciate your hard work. I love the long format tutorials which exceeds what is taught in many college classes. Most other programming tutorials on Youtube are short and just give an overview. Honestly your content is better than a lot of the commercial training videos out there.

Thank you :) What I did in the time before video tutorials, was learn a little and then give myself a project that I thought could be completed with the tools I had. Then as I struggled through the project I would be forced to figure out what additional resources were needed. I always learned by making stuff and struggling. Then I had a big library of code I could pull from for future projects. I'm doing my best to help you guys make that library with the code I provide

[derekbanas]

Thank you :) Most people don't make long videos because they aren't money makers.

I doubt there are many people who could digest what amounts to over a hundred text book pages in 19 minutes.

I'd guess I have the most intelligent subscriber base on YouTube. I always planned on bring you all together so we could take over the world :)

I record using Quicktime Player. I edit with iMovie. Both came free on my computer. The Quicktime player used to be great, but I'll soon get ScreenFlow. I'm glad you like the videos. They may be easier to comb through using the sitemap on my website.

you are one of the best technical YouTubers I came across

[thewayofthefutur]

Finally got to donate a very modest amount in the website after watching the 30th video in the tutorial.. I wish I could donate more. Your videos are so helpful. Thank you so much

[amigoscode]

Thank u so much i will try that. U are so talented. Keep making these videos dont stop

[MusicalSawMen]

This is a really good idea, it's like hedging, if you win, you take the money, if you loose, you make a video on how you screw up and let ad sense pay you back your lost !

[SoloLly]

Thanks for all the videos and source codes !
Helped me a lot. Definitly the best video tutorials on youtube.

[derekbanas]

I'll cover tabs and the other swing components I skipped. How is the code you described working for you? I never did that. I may check it out

[derekbanas]

Just start messing around making stuff and you'll learn. When I start covering design patterns you'll see how structured could should be. It will be hard to grasp at first, but will then become completely clear

[derekbanas]

You're welcome :)

From what I've seen, the longest tutorial on Java goes 17 hours (that includes pauses). I should be able to cover nearly everything there is to know about java in the next 10 hours of video

[derekbanas]

I'll have to check. The code on my site is always perfect, but it is possible I slipped up on the code in the video. It doesn't happen very often, but on occasion if it does I make sure the site code works perfectly
