This review is from: Java Graphics Programming Library: Concepts to Source Code (with CD-ROM) (Charles River Media Programming) (Hardcover)

I bought this book and ended up pulling my hair. An interesting subject has been reduced to utter banality. The title of the book says its a library of graphics routines but for whom? The animations that this book contains are the once that 6th grade students can code these days. The treatment of the subject at best can be described as shoddy.

Advice : Don't get fooled by the glossy cover.
