This is the typical book by Herbert Schildt. It's written along the "Keep It Simple, Stupid" principle. Short, simple , to the point little program that dissect and illustrate the main aspects of the subject under discussion. A classic "Divide et Impera" strategy. His stregth are mainly in the introductory and reference texts, that is the ones that focus on the basic and fundamental technologies and don't require the effort of running after the latest evolution of the latest cutting edge technology ...

Rating: - Great
Does just what the title says "A Beginner's Guide" and does it well.
Easy to follow examples and covers what a beginner needs.
It does not tell you how to make a gui application, but if you are using an IDE with gui generating capability like NetBeans, you really don't need that.
What I needed was a book that explains the gui elements and how to use them and how to code your actions for them and this book does a great job of doing that.
Excellent job.
Rating: - SWING per principianti, ma non solo
Un altro interessante libro di Shildt.
E' un libro ideato per chi si avvicina la prima volta alla creazione di una GUI con Swing, ma e' utile anche come riferimento (anche se non si addentra in argomenti molto avanzati).
Vengono trattati tutti i componenti Swing in maniera molto chiara. C'e' molto codice d'esempio.
consigliatissimo!

Rating: - Covers the basic extremely well
While the Netbeans has a decent Gui builder. It's great to understand what it is doing. This book covers the basics of building a gui interface extremly well.
Things that were not 100% understood in the gui builder - are obvious now.
Was very pleased with this purchase.
Rating: - useless book

Threads are only discussed in a small paragraph, although they are the most difficult subject many beginners encounter. The Swing tutorial from Sun has much better explanations here.
If you want to learn swing, read the Sun tutorial and then download some open source Swing applications and ... Read More
