Improve this questionPlease suggest to me a website to learn Java GUI creation.
I'd go with Java Swing Tutorial. This should introduce you to some easy examples of GUIs and give you some cool widgets to place with.
Also, if you're looking into buying books, I know that the Head First book series do a very good Java Book which is what I first read to introduce me to it. It has a very good GUI section where you make a music player. Very well written, and in some parts humorous book. Worth the money, I'd say!
The Java Tutorials are a quite good resource to learn.
I'd suggest the official Java Tutorial: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/
Note that this is a rather large area and may be hard to learn properly. Don't be discouraged :)

A whole range of tutorials submitted by users, very nice.
I like MIGLayout to layout (duh) my apps. But you should probably start with some basics as others already pointed out.
btw: I admit there are times when an imperative is good. But now and then a "please" is the way to go...
Netbeans is a good place for beginners.
Try IntelliJ IDEA. It's a GUI designer that can generate code.
But before you do that, read what AWT and Swing are, what is lightweight/heavyweight, paint/update/repaint and how layouts work.
Good luck!
