Re: Recommendation on Swing book?



Greetings Rick,

--- Reference

Java Swing, 2nd Edition
By M. Loy, R. Eckstein, D. Wood, J. Elliott, B. Cole
O'Reilly Editor
2002

As a general Swing reference, this book is very good.
This book gives all the details of Java Swing API.
Mac OS X coverage and examples

But no AWT stuff and lack of info on the layout managers.

More a reference than a tutorial.

--- Tutorial

If you need a good tutorial, you might want to read the chapter on Swing in Core Java.

Core Java 2, Volume II -- Advanced Features (7th Edition)
by C. Horstmann, G. Cornell
Prentice Hall
2004

--- Advanced tips & tricks

Swing Hacks
Tips and Tools for Killer GUIs
By J. Marinacci, C. Adamson
O'Reilly Editor
2005

Could help your application stands out among the crowd.
But some tricks are just silly things, only there to prove it could be done.


Hope this could help!

Claude Coulombe
