4.0 out of 5 stars An excellent book on JFC Swing, 17 Nov 2001
By A Customer
If you have some experience programming using the java and want to learn about JFC Swing then this is a good place to start. Although it says it is aimed at experienced developers you'll find that just about anyone can follow it, as its so well written.

4.0 out of 5 stars The most useful JFC Book I've found, 31 Jul 2002
By N. Dwyer "nick_dwyer" (Sussex, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
After looking at most of the JFC titles I decided that this was perhaps the most useful. It certainly has proved to be exactly that. There are gaps - but they are small and you can plug them using the Sun web resources. The book is well written and the subject areas are covered very thoroughly. The examples are clear and useful. The index is a little disappointing though. Most of the other books are older (1998-2000) and are out of date. Core JFC contains updates for Java 1.3. There are no mentions of internationalization or resource bundles. I'll give it four stars - there still seems to be a shortage of that advanced, all singing, all dancing JFC book. After buying a number of initially promising books that remain largely unread - I'm happy to say this one is not one of them and is worth a look.
