Tutorial more than reference

This book is fine if you are looking to start at page 1 and buy into their ongoing eg program. My gripe is that
the eg program is Swing based. I hate Swing eg's in general. They generally just make the specific point that is being demonstrated more difficult to identify. So, please, all you authors out there, for the love of god don't use Swing eg's unless your writing a book on Swing.
It's the sort of book that makes you work to understand things that you already know.
