Summary: Pure java
Review: That is all, pure java. Simple, organized, interfaced, estructured, conceptual and objective point of view of reality. Some examples, lots of them, really, some descriptions of classes, all of swing JFC, really, and that's all folks. No more, no less. But that's the best, it's a reference of swing, "thousand and more" pages reference, but clear reference. A must if you're interested in collecting java muscle books.Nice cover desing. Strong, doesn't break easily. Sorry ;)

Summary: Great...the Swing bible
Review: The book is great, with tons of details. However, I agree with another reviewer that this books is too thick! I would like to see the author cut down the repetition of codes in his next volume. In fact, I want to give 4.5 stars, it doesn't allow.

Summary: Best Swing book there is
Review: This book has clear, authoritative descriptions of the inner workings of Swing. Well worth the money, and superior to other Swing books. The interaction diagrams that show how the Swing components work together to delegate functionality are very useful.

Summary: Good but not in Deep(hsong99@yahoo.com)
Review: This book is good. It comes with a lot good example code demostrate how to use the swing components. But the author does not talk about more in depth in theory aspect. The book listed constants and methods in a class or a interface. But it does not tell you how to use some of those method. In the book, some of the code just use those method and it doesn't tell why, and those things under. Such as the AbstractAction class.When a user extends a class from this class, the constructor calls super("exit"), but why? The book is really good if you want to find some swing examples or to have a feel of swing. I would like to give it five stars if it could talk more in theory.

Summary: Awesome, but a little dated
Review: This book is great, even though its alittle dated cause it was published almost 3 yrs ago and uses booch notation for its diagrams. But it still gives you more useful information than other swing books that have been published since because it has so much information and great examples are all through the book. Gary should come out with a new edition but I gave it 5 stars cause its helped me learn swing and really understand swing more than any other book.

Summary: Complete Guide to Swing for Serious JAVA Developers
Review: This Book is not an introductory book, but for serious JAVA Developers who wants to know all about Swing features. It gives complete information about Swing's UI, the JComponent class, diff between lightweight and heavyweight component, Look and Feel features etc.... I would definetly recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn everything about SWING. However this book requires some knowlegde of AWT, but this is not a must. I can't wait for David Geary's book on Advanced Swing which is due in Dec 2001.

Summary: Excellent Book - Excellent Writer
Review: This book is the only book you will ever need ( aside from the JavaDoc ) to learn Swing properly and effectively. The stuff I can write now after reading this book makes my friends and coworkers heads spin. The sections on the JTrees and JTables is fantastic. I wish the coverage on the HTML ToolKit / Parser stuff was more fleshed out but it points you in the right directions. [Maybe he'll write an addendum and post it somewhere :-)) ] The book is extremely well written contextwise ; you never feel like you are getting lost. It even covers modelling notation. I'm going to buy his next book(s) whenever they come out. I don't even have to read the writeups ; this guy is the best writer for tech stuff I have ever seen and the book is a bargain at any price.

Summary: A very comprehensive book
Review: This book is very comprehensive and is a must for any serious Swing developer. I have found it as a good reference for all sorts of examples and also in a method lookup like way.
