The Definitive Guide to Java Swing, Third Edition
0.00 (0 votes)
Document Description
In this book, you'll find a tutorial-like approach to learning about the Swing libraries and related capabilities. It is not an API reference book, nor is it a primer that describes how to install the Java Development Kit (JDK), compile your programes, or run theme. If you need help in those areas, consider using an integrated development environment (IDE) such as IntelliJ IDEA, Eclipse, or Borland's JBuilder - or get one of Apress's other books, such as Beginning Java Objects, by Jacquie Barker.
