Is it worth learning Swing?

Question

Java

Hello, I'm a beginner programmer! Actually, I've been learning Java for several months and have reached the development of UI. As far as I understand, there are three branches here:
1) AWT;
2) Swing;
3) JavaFX.
Until recently, Swing "ruled", but after the release of JDK8, JavaFX becomes the best solution. My question is - should I, as a beginner, learn Swing, even though it has a vague future, or immediately switch to more modern JavaFX? Once again I remind you that I am a beginner, and there is no possibility to rush from one language to another, the question concerns specifically Java. Thank you.

Answer 1

Do not waste your time. Learn web

Answer 2

Everything is worth studying. And Swing and JavaFX. Java8 is still young, and mass development on JavaFX has not yet been observed, but development on Swing has not gone away, so you need to know it.
Well I think so...

Answer 3

AWT and Swing are mammoths, learn JavaFX

Answer 4

Agree with previous answer. Everything is worth studying. After all, Java8 has only recently been released and there are a huge number of applications that run on the old version of Java. Some users and developers are unwilling (or unable) to upgrade to a newer version of Java, and therefore improve what they have in every possible way. If you are an author going to some company to work as a Java programmer, then you will surely come across a program written in the same Swing. And, perhaps, that it is you who will get the role - to improve this program. So, whatever one may say, there is a lot to know.
