As i pondered through several bookshops in search for a nice complete book on Swing i came across this one. And remebering my good past experience with O'Reilly books i decided to buy it.

I had not done any GUI programming before, only progs with horrible interfaces but since i have bought and read this book all my apps have this little something that they didn't have before.

In my opinion this book is great for anyone who knows Java well and wants to get into making Java look good and adding an easy-to-use interface to their applications. It gives a very detailed account of the different classes and how to use them, with useful examples (thinking back in horror to Bjarnes C++ reference :-)).

I would like to thank you again for a job well done. And am happy about money well spend. :-)
