Further Reading
This week's topics are relatively new. They are not yet covered in many books.
One notable exception is
- The Java AWT Reference
-
by John Zukowski
The Java AWT Reference provides complete reference documentation on
the Abstract Windowing Toolkit (AWT), a large collection of classes for
building graphical user interfaces in Java. With AWT, you can create windows,
draw, work with images, and use components like buttons, scrollbars, and
pulldown menus. This book covers the classes that
comprise the java.awt, java.awt.image,
java.awt.datatransfer, and java.applet
packages with occasional digressions into the sun.awt
packages. This edition describes both Version 1.0.2 and Version 1.1 of the
Java Developer's Kit and includes:
- Reference material on every AWT class
- Extended examples that demonstrate important AWT functionality
- A detailed explanation of Java's image processing mechanisms
- Coverage of every AWT component and container, showing how to use
them in various combinations to create effective interfaces
- Descriptions of all the layout managers, including GridbagLayout
- Material on graphics primitives and rendering techniques
