there are about 6 books mentioned for swing and GUI, and have gone through their reviews...
But i would appreciate if someonce could tell me which book to buy. (i want to buy one or another second one to supplement)
If someone were to ask me about the books to prepare for
scjp test, I would in addition to naming the books would tell him from my own experience which book fits which role.
Example:
RHE, KM and Bruce's Thinking in
java RHE:Robert/Heller/Ernest
KM: Khalid/Mughal
RHE: easy to read for beginner and understand
KM: goes deeper into each concept/topic. Complements RHE very well.
Thinking in java: not a first book on java. book is for further grasping the concepts in java.
and ofcourse when in doubt always refer to JLS.
JLS is a reference, not for learning purposes. ie concepts and language rules that you would need careful scrutiny.
(these are in my view, but the point is that instead of naming the books and i have provided more information about them as well)
So would some one let me know which swing book to go for. I need to be able to make interactive GUI, ie user inputs or clicks and GUI dispalys appropriate information.
