Title: A must for desktop Java developers
Product review: Having read this book, I keep thinking I wish I'd had a copy of it about a year ago. It doesn't just tell you how to add components to a JPanel and display them on the screen, it describes how to architect and build a desktop based application using available libraries (mainly the excellent JGoodies) and programming patterns (such as PresentationModel). It also goes into much more complex rich client issues such as threading (something a lot of books tend to gloss over), and shows the developer how to use the likes of Foxtrot and Spin to handle these.A definite must for anyone involved with rich client application programming... plus the Sourcebeat model, means there's more to come :)
