Title: Beginning guide to the API, after that you're on your own
Review: This book is a reasonable introduction to the APIs to create and use SWT and JFace widgets. It will not help you get much beyond the simple examples in the book. Most of the book recapitulates the JavaDocs that are available online. While you can certainly get started in SWT and JFace with this book, I prefer two other titles for that purpose:Professional Java Native Interfaces with SWT/JFace (Programmer to Programmer)andSWT/JFace in Action: GUI Design with Eclipse 3.0 (In Action series).Whichever book you choose to start with, you will need more. I am not aware of any good resources beyond the beginner level. I had to learn by experiment how to fit the event model into an architecture, how to use it with large sets of graphical elements, and how to communicate data among the parts of a program when you get bigger than the tiny tutorials in the book.
