4.0 out of 5 stars Lots of example, May 16, 2000

Niladri Bose - See all my reviews

This review is from: Pure JFC 2D Graphics and Imaging (Paperback)

I use this book along with the 2D API O'Reilly book. While the O'Reilly book comprehensively covers the whole API, this book does not cover the whole API, but goes in depth to the basics of 2D API with lots of sample code. I would recommend the book to any beginner trying to learn the 2D API.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent to learn Java 2D API, December 6, 2003

By 

"exponentiel5" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Pure JFC 2D Graphics and Imaging (Paperback)

I knew Java and I wanted a book about Java 2D API.
This book is excellent:
- easy to read
- lot of smal programs (with comments) to illustrate chapters
(compile/work with SDK 1.4)

If you are fed up about Java books with more than 1000 pages or
if you want (like me) to learn quickly the 2D API, this one is for you.
