I need to write a Java program which is your standard
Add/Change/Delete
GUI. Can anyone recommend a book or website (besides the Sun
tutorial)
that can help me get a start. Should I approach it top down or
bottom
up? I have a pretty good idea what I want the structure of it to
look
like, but coming from a procedural language background, I'm
hoping some
of the folks in this group have written similar code and can
point me
to a good place to start.

Thanks....

Hey, I'll be curious to see what gets recommended. I borrowed a
Swing book and can't remember the name of it, but it was
indispensable. So was Google/API. The GUI stuff was much more
OOP-rigorous than what I had expected. There is craploads of
method overrwrites to do, at least if you're foolish enough to do
what I did: Editable table that could be persisted to file after
changes. Oh, what fun - fancy colors and fonts for alternate rows,
the whole nine yards. It's pretty, damn it, and it works. But it
was like descending into the realm of the absurd to get it to work
right. It's like fifty times more fun than any man should be
allowed to have.
