Abstract 'Desktop Java in Action'

Rich client applications can be more productive, more useful, and frankly more fun to work with. But figuring out how to write complex and effective rich client applications can be a difficult task, given the wealth of options and technologies to understand.

This session will start with an overview of the state of Java Desktop today and then deep-dive to cover the essential building blocks of modern rich client applications, including:

• data binding
• threading
• separating presentation logic from the UI implementation
• techniques for radically improving the UI look, feel and user experience.

These techniques and best practices are applicable for any rich client application, and are demonstrated using Swing and Java2D.
