Learning Java
Chapter 14: Using Swing Components
Part of O'Reilly's definitive set of Java documentation,
Learning Java
introduces the basics of Java, the object-oriented programming
language for networked applications from
Sun Microsystems. This book
provides a broad survey of the Java 2 Standard Edition and
contains everything necesary to get up to speed quickly. It
covers the essentials of hot topics like Swing and JFC; describes
new tools for signing applets and other Java classes; and shows
how to write networked clients and servers, servlets, JavaBeans,
and state-of-the-art user interfaces.
Java started out as a tool for creating animated web pages, but
it's proven to be much more. Java is now used for everything from
sophisticated web clients to mission-critical enterprise
applications. In the future, Java will become the basis for a new
generation of distributed software that runs on devices ranging
from cell phones to supercomputers. In the practical, hands-on
approach characteristic of O'Reilly, Learning Java demonstrates
why Java is now the language of choice for building the next
generation of computer software.
Includes a CD-ROM containing the example code and JBuilder for
Windows and Solaris.
