Are there good classes for web GUI architecture?

I'm a GUI developer in a big company that thinks "developer" == "java". Through sheer force of willpower and talent, I've convinced them that thinking about the GUI as a structured aspect of the site rather than an "eh we'll take care of that later" value-add is important. So I want to take some courses to move my career upward on this ...

Make GUI more responsive

The program I have visualizes a physics simulation (basically). Right now, it works, but can get very unresponsive, and I think I know why - too much (read:all) computation is done on the event thread. When the 'play' button is pressed, a Swing Timer is created that wakes up periodically and calls updateTime() - so far so good. The pr...

Where is DXUT looking for GUI media files?

I'm starting to use DXUTgui in my project, but only the text of the controls are showing up. I suppose it's because the DXUT isn't able to find the media files for the graphical elements.

Does SwingWorker has to be a nested class?

Hi there. I'm wondering if SwingWorker has to be a nested class within my main GUI. I'd rather make it an external class to keep the GUI clear from any of my programs logic.
