Hi all,

My book review of "The specifications of the programmer" Emmanuel Puybaret , has just been published on the website Developpez.com is what I think:

"I just finished reading the book in the collection SWING" The specifications of the programmer, "a book on the Swing API that enables the design of graphical user interfaces with the Java programming language. We now have a small presentation of content and my impressions of this publication with the red wire is an application for 3D modeling of a dwelling.

A good starting point, a complete summary and detailed chapter headings allow quick access to information. Then for each chapter, the major themes covered are announced, so you know in advance what you will discover is structured and it creates the desire to read. For the material, all phases of project creation Sweet Home 3D is presented: it begins with the idea and the phases inherent in starting a project (specification, design ...), then install development tools , the programming itself and the associated test cycles to finish with the deployment of the application. The comparison with other graphics APIs (AWT, SWT, JFace) is welcome to explain the choices that can lead to the use or not any of the tools. We can also read each page of small inserts to complement the explanations of the book (BA-BA, Remeber, Tips, To go further, note ...)

This book does not deal only with Swing and we will draw a lot of information on (among others):

* The foundation of an IT project (specifications, reference sources)
* New in Java 5 (annotations, generics,)
* The design patterns (MVC, Singleton, Decorator, Proxy ...)
* Deploying Java Veb Start
* ANT

The book presents code snippets commented on the implementation of the application, functional scenarios, UML class diagrams and screen shots to illustrate the different stages. I looked for what could miss in the content but everything is there.

It was a discovery of the collection "The specifications of the programmer," and I must say I was delighted by the quality of technical content than pedagogy adopted to keep the reader in suspense, but also by setting rich and readable page at a time. I give full marks and I will do for the simple conclusion: all books should be like this, so you can buy with your eyes closed! "

Happy reading!
