Dr. Dobbs Journal, March 1997 A comprehensive guide to the Abstract Window Toolkit for JDK 1.1. Graphic Java 1.1 (Second Edition) has been completely revised to cover all of the AWT features provided by the 1.1 JDK. It provides detailed descriptions of every aspect of the AWT, including: *Lightweight components. *Graphics Colors and Fonts. *Event Handling. *Image Manipulation Clipboard and data transfer. *Menus. *Printing. *Dialogs. *AWT Layout Managers. In addition, Graphic Java 1.1 comes with the Graphic Java Toolkit (GJT)-a set of freely reusable Java packages that extend the functionality of the AWT. The GJT provides over 40 high-level components, ranging from image buttons and scrollers to toolbars and convenience dialogs. The accompanying CD-ROM includes all of the example code from the book, ready to run on Solaris, Windows 95 and Windows NT along with the JDK 1.1 for those platforms. The complete source code for the GJT for Solaris, Windows 95/NT, and Macintosh is also included for JDK 1.0.2 and JDK 1.1.

1.0 out of 5 stars
The worst computer book I've ever bought,
By A Customer
This review is from: Graphic Java: Mastering the AWT (1st Edition) (Sunsoft Press Java Series) (Paperback)
I wish I hadn't broken the seal on the CD-ROM that came with this book because within 20 minutes I wanted to return it. Subtitled "Mastering the AWT," the book spends very little time on the Java AWT, instead pushing for the use of the JGT (Java Graphics Toolkit) which accompanies the book. The chapters suggest they will be covering the AWT but they all really say "The AWT sucks, and so you should use our JGT." I wanted a book on the AWT
4.0 out of 5 stars
Very helpful code, but should be updated to java 1.1,
By A Customer
This review is from: Graphic Java: Mastering the AWT (1st Edition) (Sunsoft Press Java Series) (Paperback)
This book was very helpful in terms of providing code and ideas for my project. But having been written in java1.0, it had to be modified. None of the java books are completely Object-Oriented. Ifs and thens should be things of past by now.
5.0 out of 5 stars
I like the book.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Graphic Java: Mastering the AWT (1st Edition) (Sunsoft Press Java Series) (Paperback)
The book is not intend for beginner. But, you really should consider it book as your second java book on your bookshelf, if you need AWT now, instead of waiting for Java 1.2. It covers AWT in deep and in detail. It has a lot of example code with detail explanation to almost each few lines of the code, (even in the last few chapters). It spends just enough pages to cover to AWT, but too many coverage on the GJT. However, programming Java 1.2's AWT is going to totally different from Java 1.1. So, it may not be a good time to buy now if you want to learn the most updated AWT.
