About this title

Synopsis

This book follows the successful model of Zukowskis best selling "Java AWT Reference" from OReilly &Associates. Combining a tutorial and reference, John Zukowskis Definitive Guide to Swing for Java 2 promises to become the one stop resource for serious Java developers. As the first comprehensive (around 800 pages), but not overwhelming book to be based on released (not beta) versions of the Java 2 Swing Set, this book provides detailed coverage of all issues related to Java programming using the Swing Set that professionals need to know.

While Java has been very successful on the server side, it has been less successful on the client (user) level. The recently released part of both JDK 1.1 and the Java 2 platform called the Swing Set is the tool that Java programmers have long waited forit makes client side programming in Java a real possibility for the first time. All serious Java programmers who care about building a rich user interface into their Java programs will switch to the Swing set, bypassing the older AWT user-interface components. Programmers will need a comprehensive reference to the Swing Set and will find it in this book.
