The tutorial will go beyond simple database connectivity and show things such as one-to-many and many-to-one relationships as well as how to bind database tables to a variety of GUI components. We'll use a MySQL database that has tables for client info, order info, and countries. There will be a one-to-many relationship between the client...http://weblogs.java.net/blog/pkeegan/archive/2008/05/input_on_a_new.html Rich Internet Applications- May 13, 2008 Click to Play play_blip_movie_909710(); Panel Discussion on Rich Internet Applications at the RedMonk Unconference at CommunityOne 2008Formats available: Quicktime (.mov)http://weblogs.java.net/blog/rachelhill/archive/2008/05/rich_internet_a.html Swing links of the week: May 11, 2008- May 12, 2008 Here are some Swing links that you might have missed during this week: Christophe Le Besnerais has a custom implementation of Paint interface to paint a glossy button with arc-shaped gradient.
