Learning objectives #

Technologies used #
| Technology | Description |
|---|---|
| Webswing | a web server that allows you to run any Java Swing application inside your web browser, using only pure HTML5 |
| NGINX | a reverse proxy that points internet requests to the local WebSwing application |
| AWS EC2 | the server that hosts the above two services |
