Negative Positive
Title: Only a fair book
Review: The book not too much more than a rehash of the Javadocs for Swing. For the beginner, not enough example and explanation. The authors also frequently assume a familiarity with AWT - a bad assumption. For beginners, Sun's on-line Swing tutorial is much much better.For advanced programmers, this book is not much better than Sun's Javadoc. Most programmers will use the Javadoc since this book is not laid out well.Also, the binding on the book comes apart pretty quickly.
