Thinlet was the brain child of one Robert Bajzat who managed to show that a Java GUI application could be built without relying on megabytes of Java class files. The whole library is just a staggering 38KB!

Robert is just but one man and can only do so much. Not only has Robert released Thinlet under the GNU Lesser Public License but he has added his weight to a number of initiatives to support the rapidly growing and expanding developer community.

Thinlet's recently got its own active mailing list hosted on Yahoo Groups and now, this blog which we will use to communicate code samples, hints and tips, and all the latest news straight from the heart of the Thinlet community.

In addition this blog will showcase some of the latest applications to be released using the Thinlet GUI. If you have anything to report then please make sure we get to know about it. We want to hear success stories.

Please feel free to join the mailing list and tell us your thoughts. In addition, you can signup for updates to this blog by popping your email address into the box on the left. A small email will be sent to you everytime a new entry is posted.

With that in mind, on behalf of Robert, Gerald and myself, welcome to the world of Thinlet!
