I love teaching and writing. And I hope my books are a vehicle for learning. It is my goal to teach you new technologies in a way that it very readable, conversational.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good - but short, May 13, 2003

This review is from: JBuilder 8.0 JFC and SWING Programming (Paperback)

This book covers using JFC/Swing in a terribly easy to follow manner. If you cannot understand this book, then you should give up programming. Everything is spelled out in an easy to follow step by step manner with complete code samples so you can see everything. My only complaints are that its too short and too high priced. I would like to have seen another 100 or so pages, and about 10 dollars less on the price tag.

4.0 out of 5 stars Easy Read, May 23, 2003

This review is from: JBuilder 8.0 JFC and SWING Programming (Paperback)

This book was darned easy to follow. I liked the full code samples in the book, and they all worked!! I found JFC to be remarkably easy to understand with this book. So why not five stars? Well I have two complaints:
Its too short, and too costly. I say revise it, add another 100 pages, and drop five or ten off the price,then I will call it a five star book!

This book is easy to read and easy to follow. I wish it where longer and cheaper, but its a good book to teach you the basics of JFC.
