What Readers Are Saying: Gregg Bolinger (Java Ranch Reviewer - 10 out of 10 Horseshoes), "Recently I was fortunate enough to obtain a copy of Desktop Java Live by Scott Delap (who also runs clientjava.com). Desktop Java Live isn't your typical 'how-to' java book full of API references and examples of how to create JFrame's. DJL is a pioneering book that teaches you how to write desktop applications using best practices as well as how to use a plethora of open source libraries to enhance and ease the development of your applications" JavaPerformanceTuning.com, "I would wholeheartedly recommend you check out chapter 5 of Scott Delap's book which implements an automatic detector of Swing threading violations - a tool that every GUI developer should include in their everyday development suite."
Customer Reviews & Comments
I have developed Swing graphical user interfaces for years and during all this time I wished I could finally read a practical and relevant book. Most of the books out there all focus on explaining that a JButton is, surprisingly, a button widget. Desktop Java Live is many steps ahead and actually presents what you really need to know in order to create snappy and neat Swing GUI. Every programmer knows how to use J2SE documentation to figure out how to create component and customize their properties. DJL will teach you the inner workings of world-class applications. This book is also the best way to discover developer productivity libraries like Foxtrot or JGoodies Forms. It is the definitive proof the number of pages isn't related to the amount of knowledge delivered by the book :)
