Is learning Java Swing,AWT (GUI Building) really essential??

Hi guys.

After a long time I am gonna ask a question.    Hope you guys help me  

As the title says,

Is learning Java Swing or AWT (GUI Building) really essential?  This is a question that I always have in my mind.

Because we can develop programs with them by using an IDE like Netbeans.

I've finished watching these videos and practiced them some times ago so I have some knowledge in Java thanks to them    Including some GUI designing knowledge too. (But not too much complex ones)

Then I'll start these intermediate videos. (Already watched first 5)

Java - Intermediate

So if I have the core knowledge then GUI isn't that much essential right?

Can someone help me to solve this puzzle ?  




Thanks

It is better have a good idea on them. But as you said GUIs are designed using IDEs to speed up development. So you don't need to go in to deep with them, just have a good idea how those objects are handled, etc...

Thanks friend.

Yes I have an idea how those objects are handled and I can design with some of them also.

So I won't need to bother about them deeply as you said  


Thanks
