From the Author
Swing grows up
Hi there, welcome to the Amazon page for my book with Bill Wake.

Bill and I spent a full year working on this book. We started working on it at Swing 0.7, and the final product is up to date with JDK 1.2 (and 1.2.1).

That year was spent reading _all_ of the Swing code, to figure out what it actually did rather than what it was supposed to do. We didn't simply dump the JavaDoc to make this book; we re-wrote _every entry_ to reflect our full understanding of how the APIs actually worked. I'm sure Bill will agree when I say that I now know more about Swing than I ever expected to ;) .Hope you enjoy the book!

4.0 out of 5 stars An excellent reference, 20 April 1999
By A Customer
Definitely for the advanced Swing user (or someone who feels they are done with tutorials), I have been finding this book a useful reference.

The inheritance diagrams are a great help, along with the table of Look and Feel keys in the appendix.

4.0 out of 5 stars Useful for quick reference, 13 April 1999
By A Customer
Though this book is not nearly as useful as other Swing books when it comes to learning hoiw things work. It is organized so nicely that referencing things is often faster than it is in the online docs. Not my favorite book, but well done and original. I recommend it only for veterans. Also its the only book that covers all of the Basic PLAF (I would have given it 3 stars if it didn't have this).

3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing - doesn't live up to the publicity, 2 April 1999
By A Customer
I was disappointed by this book. Most of the space is taken up by a listing of the Swing class types and parameters. Whilst the annotation is useful, and the book is distinctive in it's reference style, the information is too focussed on a method by method rather than "how do I do this?" types of questions.

If you already have David Geary's Swing book and the O'Reilly book, this adds a small value but get those titles first.
