Hi list,
I just wanted to share with you -- I have been
going through an extremely disappointing time up until now -- trying to
effectively do a JButton -- working with FlowLayout and Swing. And I got
extremely depressed when it looked like I was not able to do it.
Then low and behold -- I pulled out a textbook
which I had not looked at yet -- and in it were "diamonds". It contained an
excellent explanation and description of what I was wanting to
achieve.
The book by the way was certainly NOT Deitel and
Deitel ("Java How To Program"). I am sorry Alan,
but I still hold something against this text.
Instead I looked at a textbook that I find to be much more useful and better at
explaining and describing things --- Lambert and Osborne -- "Java -- A Framework
For Programming and Problem Solving".
I still am a firm believer that the textbook that
you use -- in the end -- makes or breaks you -- and the Deitel and Deitel book
-- in my mind -- is not perhaps the best book to be using. One other list member
did agree with me on this.
Do you guys know about BreezySwing ? And GBFrame ?
Instead of JFrame ? I take it that BreezySwing is aimed more at the beginner ?
using this at the beginning to do GUI's -- was great.
But even when I started with JFrames -- the Lambert
and Osborne text was excellent.
Yeah so just wanted to point that out.
Thanks
Tim.
