I have gone through the following article regarding the logging frameworks available for Java:
<http://michaelandrews.typepad.com/the_technical_times/2011/04/java-logging-reconsidered.html>

The author has mentioned using SLF4J with Logback. How is that different from using Logback directly. Wouldn't it be better if one uses Logback directly rather than going for SLF4J, since Logback is built on top of SLF4J.
