The JFC Swing Tutorial: A Guide to Constructing GUIs (Kathy Walrath, et al)

The JFC Swing Tutorial has been completely updated and redesigned to reflect the most recent changes to the Java 2 platform and JFC Swing API. Working closely with the Sun Microsystems Swing team, authors and Java professionals Kathy Walrath, Mary Campione, Alison Huml, and Sharon Zakhour discuss the ins and outs of developing GUIs using Swing components in this book.

 

You are able to design user interfaces that look and function as well as or better than native interfaces by following the task-oriented, example-driven instruction. The writers use content unique to this edition to bring the art of GUI creation to life by utilizing the full potential of the most recent Java 2 platform. This contains a convenient tabbed reference section, new introductory chapters, and coverage of more recent features like the mouse wheel support, the rearchitected focus subsystem, and enhanced drag and drop functionality.

The JFC Swing Instruction, Second Edition is an essential tutorial and reference for any Java developer, novice or expert, who wants to build reliable, powerful, and aesthetically attractive GUIs.
