I'm a Java beginner; just purchased four books to start learning it (CoreJava volumes 1 and 2, and Graphic Java volumes 1 and 2), and the books tendto lean more towards Swing and less towards AWT. From what I remember readingof the Core book volume 1 (up to the point I've gotten to so far), it talksabout how Swing is becoming more portable and the "newer" way of handlinggraphics in Java.I was wondering how worth it is to focus on AWT if Java programming is tendingto lean towards Swing.Any comments? Is AWT equally as important to learn well like Swing, or isit going to become out-of-date?
