I noticed your new book covers Swing. Over the years I have always avoided learning Swing since most of our applications that have user-interfaces are web-based and use html, jsp, servlets, etc. I have always thought that Swing was "going away". In your opinion, are there practical reasons for using Swing and do you know if it is still widely used? Thanks.

With the great penetration of mobiles in the worlds, the flat-client applications for mobile devices are on rise again. There is no reason to ignore Swing development completely.
