    Another silly question here.

    As I said before I'm going to start working on a small project for myself in Java.

    Its been mentioned to me that swing is outdated and not necessarily worth the effort. My question is, what would be the best (if any) alternative platform to create a UI to run a java program on?

    What Chrome is suggesting is that rather than creating a desktop application, look at developing a web application.

    To do this you'll need to learn about servlets and http communication, there are loads of tutorials out there. You can then move on to wonderful things like the Spring framework etc.

    Search for something like "java web application introduction" and you'll be on the right road.
