Negative Positive
Title: Better than nothing, but pretty frustrating...
Review: As I have experienced with most Wiley books, this book is hard to read and hard to use. The examples are trite and uninspired, and do little to illustrate how the concepts can be used in a real application. The diagrams do add little value to the topics and would have looked better if drawn by hand. And the authors' frequent use of their own company's logo in most of the examples is childish and unappreciated.If you are waiting for a good book about JFC and Swing, keep waiting. The Java Series and the O'Reily books should be out soon enough.
