I have the feeling that | the API is much bigger than the class libraries listed in these 2 books | below. | | ================================================================== | The Java(TM) Class Libraries, Voume 1: java.io, java.lang, java.math, | java.net, java.text, java.util (2nd Edition) | by Patrick Chan, Rosanna Lee, Doug Kramer | | The Java(TM) Class Libraries, Volume 2: java.applet, java.awt, java.beans | (2nd Edition) | by Patrick Chan, Rosanna Lee | | ================================================================== | At the moment -- I am trying to learn about Swing (as a preference over the | AWT as advised on this list) -- particularly about buttons and about | Layouts. | | So I thought maybe if I did an Amazon search for "Java Swing" and see what | comes up. And I found the following:- | | ================================================================= | | 1) Java Swing, Second Edition | by James Elliott, Robert Eckstein (Editor), Marc Loy, David Wood, Brian | Cole | | 2) The JFC Swing Tutorial: A Guide to Constructing GUIs | by Kathy Walrath, Mary Campione | | 3) Definitive Guide to Swing for Java 2, Third Edition | by John Zukowski | | ================================================================= | | I have a question : is the JFC the same as Swing ? Are the 2 terms | synonomous ? | | And I think that maybe I should get the following book perhaps before | getting others :- | | ================================================================= | 1) The Java(TM) Developers Almanac 1.4, Volume 1: Examples and Quick | Reference (4th Edition) by Patrick Chan | | 2) The Java Developers Almanac 1.4, Volume 2: Examples and Quick Reference | (4th Edition) | by Patrick Chan, Lan-Ahn Dang | | ================================================================= | | | | | --- | You are currently subscribed to jdjlist as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://www.sys-con.com/fusetalk | | --- You are currently subscribed to jdjlist as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.sys-con.com/fusetalk
