Format:Paperback
I find that with Nelson's JFC book I'm not stuck reading yards of mundane and overdone "how to code in oop", etc.. chapters. It gets right to the point, provides examples for every conceivable problem regarding all the JFC components! Without this book, you'll find the JFC a frightening beast , but with it -- its a snap :)!
Format:Paperback
This book doesn't need to be this heavy and big. Repetitious code abounds and it is very badly organized. Very frustrating to read. It is good for beginners but it just isn't worth the price. I am eagerly waiting for David Flanagan's JFC in a Nutshell. I advise not to buy it.
Format:Paperback
In addition to this JFC book, I also have Gutz's book and Weiner & Asbury's Programming with JFC. This is certainly the most comprehensive of the three.
Basic and more advanced examples are offered, and each class that is covered includes a very handy public methods reference.
The coverage on JTables is inadequate in all three books, but Java Foundation Classes at least touches on most of the JTable features.
Not perfect, but definitely worth the money.

Very poor as either tutorial *or* reference.
This could be a textbook in how not to write a Java book. The vast majority of the pages are in Chapter Eight, "JFC by Class"... Read more

Very good, especially for medium to advanced programmers
While this book may be difficult for beginners, I found the combination of class oriented step-by-step instructions and detailed examples to be just right. Read more

The best book on JFC so far
Pros:
The book starts simple and assumes a working knowledge of basic java. Then it talks about the most important classes and the related classes, which was very helpful in... Read more

much better than the Gutz book!
Quality far better than Gutz; better examples, much more in depth. Still light on some areas I've had trouble with, but this one won't stay on my bookshelf. Read more

I would wait until other JFC books come to market!
This book offers very little in comparison to Sun's online documentation. It is not well organized-- a very simple overview and an underwhelming 700pp. API reference section. Read more

A MUST for anyone programming in JAVA with JFC!
I have read prerelease versions of this book and find it very good. This book was written by a programmer for programmers. Read more
