"Swing Hacks" helps Java developers move beyond the basics of
Swing, the graphical user interface (GUI) standard since Java 2. If
you're a Java developer looking to build enterprise applications
with a first-class look and feel, Swing is definitely one skill you
need to master. This latest title from O'Reilly is a reference to
the cool stuff in Swing. It's about the interesting things you
learn over the years--creative, original, even weird hacks--the
things that make you say, "I didn't know you could even do that
with Swing!"
"Swing Hacks" will show you how to extend Swing's rich component
set in advanced and sometimes non-obvious ways. The book touches
upon the entire Swing gamut-tables, trees, sliders, spinners,
progress bars, internal frames, and text components. Detail is also
provided on JTable/JTree, threaded component models, and
translucent windows. You'll learn how to filter lists, power-up
trees and tables, and add drag-and-drop support.
"Swing Hacks" will show you how to do fun things that will
directly enhance your own applications. Some are visual
enhancements to make your software look better. Some are functional
improvements to make your software do something it couldn't do
before. Some are even just plain silly, in print only to prove it
could be done. The book will also give you give you a small glimpse
of the applications coming in the future. New technology is
streaming into the Java community at a blistering rate, and it
gives application developers a whole new set of blocks to play
with.
With its profusion of tips and tricks, "Swing Hacks" isn't just
for the developer who wants to build a better user interface. It's
also ideally suited for client-sideJava developers who want to
deliver polished applications, enthusiasts who want to push Java
client application boundaries, and coders who want to bring
powerful techniques to their own applications.
Whatever your programming needs, "Swing Hacks" is packed with
programming lessons that increase your competency with
interface-building tools.
