DESCRIPTION
Swing has something for all Java audiences, but is mainly intended for intermediate and advanced GUI developers. Each chapter begins with a discussion of relevant classes and interfaces, often interspersed with small example applications to demonstrate key features. The remainder is then devoted to extensive, real-world examples that are explained thoroughly and are often built on top of one another. These examples are the main thrust of this book and make up most of its content.
Each Swing component is covered in depth with several accompanying examples. The authors have also identified five areas of Swing that deserve significantly more attention than others due to their size and complexity:
- the text package
- the tree package
- the table package
- MDI environments
- pluggable look and feel
Thus, you will find the examples of this material particularly extensive. Additionally, the authors have included chapters on five special topics: Java2D, Printing, Accessibility, JavaHelp, and CORBA -- all in terms of Swing.
Translation rights for Swing have been granted for Korea, India, and Germany. If you are interested in learning where to buy this book in a language other than English, please inquire at your local bookseller.
WHAT THE READERS SAY ABOUT THIS BOOK...
"I bought this book three weeks ago (right before our mission critical project). I was given just two weeks to finish the coding and unit testing. It was not a big project, yet, I thought I would like to use Swing for it and I came across your book... I spent four continuous days reading the book and in another four days I was done. You won't believe the excitement I felt when I finished the project on time and the users were very astonished by the GUI interface. I would like to let you know that I am very
grateful for this great book. It could not have been written in a more simple way than this."
