4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Swing Reference, if somewhat dry, 29 Feb 2000
By A Customer
I refer constantly to Pure JFC Swing: it's an excellent Swing reference, if somewhat dry in style. The examples could delve a little deeper into some of the more idiosynchratic aspects of Swing: how to validate a Text Field, how to enable enable/disable items in a JList, for example. My biggest gripe about this book is that it won't lie open: you need a brick to stop it closing automatically as your eyes move away from the page.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great examples, awful reference, 18 Oct 1999
A very good book for those new to the JFC. Neat example code and useful discussion of the new components. But the reference at the back is unusable.

4.0 out of 5 stars Clear to-the-point examples of JFC classes, 14 Aug 1999
By A Customer
This is a good book if you are looking for short, clear examples of how to use the major JFC classes in Java2/Swing. It doesn't go into detail for every minute aspect of JFC, but on the other hand, that makes all the important data on JFC that much easier to find...less arcane fluff to wade through!

If you are an experienced Java programmer and you want to quickly get up to speed with JFC, then this book is for you. If you are looking for a hand-holding tutorial for learning the Java language, look elsewhere. This book is for those with some Java language experience under their belt. (Put another way, if this book were a ski run, it would have a blue square sign. :-)

I recommend this book mostly for its 350-page JFC quick-start overview with examples. The low price makes it a good value too. The last half (API overview) is not quite as useful as the first half, but overall, I give it 4/5 stars.

1.0 out of 5 stars Useless Index book
I agree with the other two reviewers (1) it doesn't live up to the hype, (2) don't buy. It's nothing but index, userless.

1.0 out of 5 stars Doesn't live up to the reviews
There is a 180 page index cross-listing 300 pages of method listings which are less informative than the API docs. The examples don't compare to David Geary's book. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Packed with Swing examples!
