Swing, Second Edition Review by java_rw
Who is this book for?
It looks this Book's attempt to teach Swing is failed because of:
1) Book plagued with API reprints - always a sign of a weak java book
2) Lack of practical techniques - sorry, but pasting chunks of code does not substitutes putting practical programming methods in organized order
Small Example - in jtree chapter no methods given for tree traversing (only brief info that such a thing exists). Such important topic as search in a tree is totally missing.
3) Book is too complex and disorganized for a beginner and missing practical tidbits for the solid swing user. As for an advanced user there is too little to be found.
