What I'm wondering is if you all have any recommendations for a book
or whatever that is strong in the finer details of -- e.g. -- Layout
Managers and "advanced" GUI, especially with "here's what to look out
for" advice. I certainly do not mind learning from experience, but
would like to learn more efficiently than I will be when my Java class
is over.
If you haven't checked it out already, the online Swing tutorial is a
good place to start:
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/TOC.html
For more of the "look out for this" kind of advice, I like "Swing" (2nd
ed.) by Robinson and Vorobiev. You can download sample chapters at the
book's website:
http://manning.com/robinson2/
I have the first printing which has more than a few typos, but other
than that it's a good book.
Finally, for the more advanced stuff, you'll want to check out "Filthy
Rich Clients" by Chet Haase and Romain Guy:
http://www.filthyrichclients.com/
It starts out with some fundamentals, but quickly moves on to more
advanced concepts, winding up with things like animated transitions.
