Excellent Notes for SWT

This book is an excellent book for beginners. In fact, it is a well-organized quick reference. Starting from how to build a shell, this book goes through visual component-wise chapters. That means after each chapter, the reader is supposed to learn one new visual component.

There is always a short piece of code for each chapter, which merely shows the basic usage of that visual component.

In general, this notebook is clear and easy to follow. Chapters are arranged with intuitive sense so readers are not going to lose themselves and everybody should be able to achieve the basic control of SWT in a couple of hours.

However, it will be better to add some more graphic illustration. E.g. it would be much better to draw a few lines and boxes to show the secret of Menu and MenuItem instead of text-only explanation.

Please be reminded that, this notebook is for beginner only.
