4.0 out of 5 stars
Good for reference not for reading
It says it covers the 2D and 3D APIs. However, as near as I can tell, it covers the Java 2D API in much detail. Then it covers how to do 3D using the 2D API, but never covers the 3D API directly. This is still useful because any 3D API will make certain tradeoffs and if the tradeoffs don't match your needs, you might have to implement your own 3D API using the 2D...

This book is very basic...
I made a mistake buying Graphics Programming with JFC ... the book is not bad but it's extremely superficial.If you need something more deep than opening an Image File you should look for something different (I haven't found yet...).

This is still useful because any 3D API will make certain tradeoffs and if the tradeoffs don't match your needs, you might have to implement your own 3D API using the 2D API.The book is very heavy on code examples. Each section seems to have an introduction, a code example, and then commentary on the code example. However, I think the book would be better with more text to go with the code. While I don't think the strength of this book is the cover-to-cover readability, I think it is an excellent reference resource. If you are trying to do a particular graphical task, you can just look it up and there will be a code example there waiting for you, which is enormously useful.

This review is from: Graphics Programming with JFC (SUG) (Paperback)
Primarily because this book is too basic. Any claims by the author to reply back to email*s* (again, emails, not one!) have been false.Please don't write any such books just to rip us off... please!
