Summary: An excellent choice
Comment: I really enjoyed this book. It covers two dimensional graphics very well. The code will challenge you. I like all books by Jonathan Knudsen. I think he is a good writer. If you a beginner, you might want to buy a primer on JAVA first before buying this book. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn JAVA Graphics2D

Summary: Examples have lots of ugly/nasty inner classes - yuck!
Comment: This book's content is great even though it spends a lot of ink regurgitating the doc (symptomatic of O'Reilly). Even with this it touches on everything within 230 pages while showing many examples.
My issue with this book is the way that the examples are written. It uses inner classes left and right requiring more careful reading of the code. I know this is a philosophical issue; but in general inner classes are a lazy programmer's tool which tends to confuse code and make it harder to read/maintain. It is bad enough that they are used in documented public APIs - in a didactic text, there's no need to exacerbate this.
Content gets 4 stars. Examples get 1 star. Since code examples are really 1/2 the content, it gets only two stars. Previous book by the author (on cryptography) had much better examples - and didn't use inner classes.

Summary: Excellent, Easy and Complete!
Comment: This is a great book for those interested in working with graphics 2d in java. I never really liked o'reilly's books since most of them in my opinion are not too clear with not a lot of examples. This one however is very clear, complete and easy too! After reading this book you will truly enjoy using the numerous outstanding features in the java's JFC Graphics 2D. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in this subject.
