I have designed and implemented my own gui framework in java, using native java libraries, and 16 hours of code in a 2 day window.
screens
Note that I am a java programmer of 3 months...at the university of the west indies mona. But I skip programming lectures, so I cannot attribute my skills to my school lol.
Among the many features accomplished, an entirely new button has been implemented, without extending JButton. Other features include
*complex table mechanism (easy to setup),
*custom text field,
*custom font system, *
*custom audio system and much more.
it can be used to develop rich java applications. It is a way to move away from the JButton and other lame looking java components. The menu system allows one to set up a menu in a few lines,.
I'm not sure how you would get I known to be honest.
But I think if you can make something look really cool and make video about it, it's going to become popular soon.
i realized I should have posted this in the app releases section. However don't think I want to double post.
My lazy brain is in the middle of a new idea. We'll see what it gives us this time.
@Mclovin, all you need to do to become better programmer is this.
1.Go and surround others who can code well.
2.When a task is encountered, try to be open and non-linear in approaching a solution....and driven.
Just those 2 simple things will yield the ability to implement anything that your mind generates for you.
I don't have a java book, nor have I ever sought aid on a java tutorial.
When I want to solve a problem, I search about the component that I think that might aid me.
For example, when I decided to create my own button, I thought that the Java Shape would probably help me. So I researched that, and noted Shape methods and properties.
So in the end I thank java for documenting their mechanisms well enough.
