All set to become the one-stop resource for serious Java developers, this is the first comprehensive book to be based on released versions of the Java 1.2 Swing Set. While thorough in its treatment of the Swing set, the book avoids covering the minutia that is of no interest to programmers. John Zukowski is one of the best known figures in the Java community, and one of the most popular columnists for JavaWorld Magazine. He provides significant content for JavaSofts own web site and was the principal author of the "official" on-line Swing tutorial.
