I hope you doing well, I recommend learning Java FX, although, it is widely used nowadays, and it could fulfill your needs.
Here is a book named Mastering JavaFX ® 8 Controls by Hendrik Ebbers, it gives concise insight into JavaFX and explains it in-depth

I am asking this because not all of libraries have tutorials. Which way is the best for improving document reading skills and also coding skills. Sorry if my english is bad

Ironically, that is exactly how I tried to learn Swing originally. It was a complete disaster. I ended up getting a big fat O'Reilly book on Swing and discovering the Sun Swing tutorials. Hopefully the book has been updated, since I just checked and it's for Java version 1.2!
FX was supposed to be the new improved GUI for Java but it's development efforts were side-lined before the goal was fully realized. Swing is still considered the mature go-to for GUI.Houssam El wrote:I think that Swing is outdated

RTFJD (the JavaDocs are your friends!) If you haven't read them in a long time, then RRTFJD (they might have changed!)

Or would open source them like the .Net documentations, which if you needed to, you can legally fork and maintain on your own...or just issue pull requests with the changes you'd like to see that they acknowledged 18 years ago and never got around to fixing...
