Chet Haase on maximizing Swing and Java 2D
In this first interview in JavaWorld's Java Technology Insider podcast series, Daniel Steinberg chats with Chet Haase about
rich client development using Swing and Java 2D. Listen in as Chet, a Sun Microsystems client architect, makes the case for
Java desktop applications, tackles the big issues facing Swing developers, and talks about the near future of Java development
on the client side.
- Filthy Rich Clients (Prentice Hall, August 2007) is the new book by Chet Haase and Romain Guy -- learn the techniques to build richer, more dynamic Java desktop applications.
- You like the catchy tune at the end of this podcast? Hear all of Roman Strobl's "This is Java EE 5 (mp3 file)." (Warning: It's been called ear-splittingly funny.)
- John Zukowski's "Swing threading and the event-dispatch thread" (JavaWorld, August 2007) is a more in-depth discussion of Swing's single-threaded event programming model.

or wants to, maintain its hold on Java technology. Especially with enterprise leaders like SpringSource and RedHat investing
heavily in Java's future as a platform for platforms
