MANY
JAVA PROGRAMMERS ARE FAMILIAR with John Zukowskis
popular
Java AWT Reference, which concentrated on what
professional programmers had to know in order to use the
now-obsolete AWT component set. This book offers the same
level of coverage for the latest version of Swing.
Zukowski
helps Java programmers weed through the complex APIs of the
Swing
components.
This book shows programmers those parts of the Swing
Comporient Set they wül use on a daily basis to create
graphical user interfaces. Readers can learn about the
Model-View Controller architecture that lies behind all

comporients. You'Il find an overview of the Swing
architecture, event handling with the Swing Component Set,
