Summary: approachable and thorough
Comment: I found this book to be a thorough start-to-finish explanation of Swing, with detailed coverage of each component. There is a wealth of online information about Java and Swing, and there are also other Swing books, but I never saw the big picture until I bought this book. A MUST READ for any Java GUI developer. Other reviewers have stated that this book was too complex for beginner and intermediate developers. I strongly disagree. Swing itself is complex and powerful, and to leverage its full potential requires advanced programming skill. However I do not believe it, or this book, could be made any simpler and remain as useful and powerful. If you want simplicity, get a book on VB!

Summary: Still good
Comment: Like a fine movie, this book is still very useful even as the language advances. A wonderful reference I still find myself reaching for it several times a week for parts of the GUI that I don't reach into that often. Considering that I use the Eclipse front-end I do all of my GUI coding by hand (that and most GUI builders put out some really terrible code), so maybe I am a bit atypical in this regard.

Summary: Pure java
Comment: 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 ;)
