You like the catchy tune at the end of this podcast? Hear all of Roman Strobl's "This is Java EE 5 (mp3 file)." (Warning: It's been called ear-splittingly funny.)
John Zukowski's "Swing threading and the event-dispatch thread" (JavaWorld, August 2007) is a more in-depth discussion of Swing's single-threaded event programming model.
