Hello everyone!

Recently, I decided to learn a little bit API and Java. After some time of considering I decided to create an application (CodeforcesSurfer). Using this application you can get any information from Codeforces i.e. user info, contest info and etc.

I started doing it today :D Buuut, nevertheless I have already coded something.

Btw, I want to emphasize that this app (or if it's possible to say — project) is developing for getting knowledge of API, JSon, Java, Java GUI and so on.

Therefore I invite everyone who wants to contribute or if it's interesting for you.

Here is the project.

Will appreciate any comments and advice!

P.S. don't pay too much attention to the design :D

You can download the current version here.

P.P.S Now it looks like this:

When I saw that pic for a moment I got a feeling that it is similar trick as my friend tried on fb posting "OMG! How is that possible to have that ugly face?? link which redirects user to its own profile". You wouldn't believe how many people actually got tricked, from pairs of girls which exchanged opinions like "how could he be so mean?", "that was such a cruel thing to write" and both of them thought it is about her, to guys who stated that messaged him that they don't give a &*$%, but changed profile pic the same day :P. But actually this is not this kind of trick, that is simply just my photo :P.

I see you are using Java Swing. If you are planning to build desktop applications, I suggest you to look for JavaFX and give it a try, JavaFX is included in Java 8 and helps you to create better user interfaces while Swing is considered deprecated by many developers.
