Very disappointed.


The included code doesn't all work for two reasons


1) basic code flaws that the compiler flags, and once you fix these, 2) none of the graphics (ico) files needed to run many of the examples are included in the companion files on the web site.


Hard for a relative newbie to Eclipse and the SWT to learn when these obstacles are encountered.


All in all, as it stands, this book is extremely frustrating and a waste of money.


If the code and graphics problems were fixed, it could be a great book.
