Want to make your own programs?
   
   Desktop applications can deliver focused content right to your desktop and are more accepted than browser toolbars.
   
   The applications can also be shared for recruiting or can be presentations unto themselves. (duh)
   
   But where do we start?
   
   I'd suggest something cross platform. Here I'm going to promote Netbeans and Swing GUI
   
    NetBeans IDE can be installed on all operating systems that support Java, from Windows to Linux to Mac OS systems. Write Once, Run Anywhere, is as true for NetBeans IDE as it is for your own applications... because NetBeans IDE itself is written in Java, too!

   You can also make stuff with eclipse:

   I hope these resources inspire you to realize how quickly you can create applications you want with some ease.
   
   
   Also, when making stuff with these programs, its probable that someones already done most of the work for you. While your making the programs your actually creating your own "library"...  luckily other people have made their "Java Script" libraries available..  like here:

   ENJOY!!!
