Eclipse is a powerful open source IDE that accelerates developer productivity by large, and is used by millions of developers today. On the other hand, hundreds of features and options that enable enterprise-grade Java development can be overwhelming for a novice user. This session focusses on Eclipse Standard Widget Toolkit (SWT) that provides efficient and fast development of portable user-interfaces with hundreds of cool UI controls at your finger-tip. We will explain the basic building blocks of UI programming and illustrate how these controls can be integrated to build scalable applications, with code examples.
Objective of the presentation:
The aim is to hand-hold new developers and help them to understand the common features of Eclipse SWT, and enable them to improve their productivity by large. The session illustrates the sophisticated SWT features in an incremental manner. We explain the concepts of widgets, controls, graphics and composites, layouts and events, and how they integrate together to respond to the user interactions. We also explain some of the common tips as well as best practices.
