Do I have to learn AWT before learning Swing?

Question

If I want to code an desktop application in Windows with Java, should I buy a book about Swing and just skip reading books/tutorials about AWT?

Or do I have to learn AWT before using Swing?

Answer 1

Just go straight to Swing.

Ignore awt.

There is no benefit getting your head around awt, as Swing is essentially a replacement for it.
