The experienced developer's guide to the Swing classes!
Core Swing helps you deliver the sophisticated Java GUI applications your users demand—with Java Swing techniques that start where other books leave off! Building on his bestseller Core Java Foundation Classes, Kim Topley takes on the toughest Swing issues raised by programmers throughout the Java community and addresses crucial topics first-generation Swing books completely missed.
With Core Swing, you'll discover how to exploit the Swing tree and table controls to the fullest, customize and create your own text fields with features that sophisticated users expect, build your own editors and file viewers, and much more. There is complete and in-depth coverage of Swing's HTML support, a topic barely addressed in other Swing books. You'll also find detailed coverage of undo/redo and drag-and-drop, with lengthy, fully documented code examples, in the book and on the accompanying CD-ROM.
Every Core Series book:
- DEMONSTRATES how to write commercial quality code
- FEATURES dozens of nontrivial programs and examples—no toy code!
- FOCUSES on the features and functions most important to real developers
- PROVIDES objective, unbiased coverage of cutting-edge technologies—no hype!
Core Swing: Advanced Programming delivers:
- State-of-the-art insights into the Swing classes that other books can't touch
- Practical techniques for building the Swing components you really need
- Fast-track techniques for making the most of text controls, editors, tables, and drag-and-drop
- Hundreds of professional-level code examples
CD-ROM
The accompanying CD-ROM includes all of the book's detailed code examples a bonus chapter taken from Kim Topley's first book, Core Java Foundation Classes, and trial versions of SwingBuilder from SwingSoft and Netbeans.

Format:Paperback
I needed a book with some more complex examples which illustrated more advanced use of the HTML Editor kit and some of the other Java Swing classes like JTree. I bought this book because the other sources for information could not help me. The Java trail (on Sun's homepage) got me far, but not quite all the way. This book provided me with more information on the topics I needed. It's not a broad book about Java Swing, but it covers (like the title says) some of the more advanced topics of Swing. If you make large GUI's using Swing and use some of the more advanced parts of Swing; This book is for you!

I bought this book with the hope that i would find in him good examples of how to explore Java Swing, I was wrong, this book has very simple examples, you can do the same exploring Swing by your own. Maybe good for beginners. His examples are very specific and easy to implement. If you want Swing, buy Java Swing from o'Reilly.

No time for experimenting ? This is your book
28 Feb 2000
Format:Paperback
I like the 'Core...' books and really appreciate their format. This one is no exception. The chapters are as with the 'Core Java 2' books very clear and to the point. I wanted to know about menus, it got me where I wanted to go in 10 minutes, same with custom dialogs. Sofar I read about 80% of the book in random order. I just read those chapters on the subject I need more info on. No need to read previous chapters, no need to read following chapters either. If you're like me, and don't have enough time to do all that you want to. You definitely need this book.

Great book for Swing developers.
17 Jan 2000
Format:Paperback
This is the second book by Kim Topley that I have purchased, I bought the first book: Java Foundation Classes when it first came out and found it very useful, so was very pleased to see the new book.
I have found these books to be a good source of reference and good tutorials. The text is clear and concise and the examples well written and illustrate the subject very well. I initially bought the book because of work I was doing on Drag and Drop and Undo, but found the whole book very useful.
Well worth reading by anyone developing in Swing.

Please Read the Whole Title
27 Aug 2001
Format:Paperback
Several recent reviews of this book seem to be written with a misunderstanding of its scope. As its title says, this book is about advanced Swing programming - it is not intended as an introductory book.
The reviewer who complains about there not being a description of how a table works or which is the row and which is the column when building a TableModel form an Object[][] is perfectly correct to say that it is not covered here - in fact, all of that is completely covered in Core JFC, which *IS* an introductory text. Returning the book might well be appropriate in this case - but only because this is not the book that he should have ordered in the first place.
