Core Swing: Advanced Programming Review by Terry Plymel

BOOOO HISSSS.......... Come on, developers deserve better.

A whole chapter on JTables and not mentioning much about the tables. There is more focus on BigDecimal and Doubles than on how a table works.

Why don't you write this chapter again and talk about. 1. How a Table works. 2. What a TableModel is and how it Works. 3. What is a renderer and why would i need on. 4. Don't WORRY ABOUT CURRENCY, Write about tables.

Also, if you want to make a practical example.

DON'T USE: Object[][] as the basis for your table without explaining which array is thr row ant which is the column.

Build a custom object like one that might be used in the REAL WORLD and write about that.

class CostElement { short id; String name; int Price; }

now define a table full of CostElement[] objects. Now THAT, would be practical.

This book does not adequatley address the relevant topics to make it meaningful. think I'm going to return my book. It is of no use to me.
