5.0 out of 5 stars Really well written, 5 Aug 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Up to Speed with Swing: User Interfaces with Java Foundation Classes (Paperback)
this is one fo the really good books on Swing. Nevermind ath it's slightly out of date..the writing here is very very high quality nad you'll come away with a great foundation. His "useful groupsings" of methods together into meaningful categories is so much better than the API dumps a lot of other books are...

4.0 out of 5 stars Out of date but I think its the best swing introductory book, 11 Jan 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Up to Speed with Swing: User Interfaces with Java Foundation Classes (Paperback)
I have other swing books but this was the first one out and it is the best book at keeping you in tune with gui development. The other books I have are great once you spend tons of time with them but are so detail oriented that its frustrating. This book was good when I needed to learn and its also good to look at because it has user interface design tips. I think interface design is also an art and shouldnt be treated as such a science. This book gives good suggestions at how to make the interface nicer for average users. The only complaint I have is that it is out of date for JDK1.2 but since another edition is coming out I will buy that one.

2.0 out of 5 stars Good UI Guidlines. Bad Swing Book.
The hints on user interface design were helpful and concise. A better (but not great) UI design book is Interface Design by Peter Bickford (ISBN 0-12-095860-0). Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars Very shallow coverage
I bought this book sometime back because this was the first Swing book on the market. However, in my opinion, using the online documentation from Sun is a lot better because... Read more
