I've googled but can't seem to find dedicated tutorial series to building desktop UI apps on netbean.
Can someone point to a good site ?
This is a good link on how to extend Netbeans. THe OP probably wanted to make his own little GUI applications using Swing, using the IDE, in the simplest possible sense. "on" in his case appears to have been an ill chosen wording.

A:
I doubt there are very many tutorials out there on this subject; the NetBeans IDE's GUI editor makes laying out Java Swing GUI components fairly simply -- about ten minutes of experimentation and you should be able to lay out a GUI. As for handling GUI events, triggering changes in the GUI as a result, etc., that requires knowledge of Java Swing for which there are plenty of Java Swing tutorials out there.
