Swing is the older GUI framework. But JavaFX comes with new rich and better UI components in terms of rendering and beauty. We can even use CSS syntax to design JavaFX UI components. In terms of aesthetics, and modern methodologies of creating GUI applications, JavaFX is better. Also Swing framework has been used and it is still being used to create a lot of GUI applications, thus it is expedient to learn it so as to know how to work with GUI projects created with Swing. Also in JavaFX, there's a component that allows you to use Swing GUI components inside a JavaFX application. Thus, you can see that Swing is still incoporated into JavaFX. To wrap it all, learn Swing first, build projects with it, then learn JavaFX and build projects with it too.
