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.
