Java Swings/Prerequisite

This book does not teach you Java from tip to toe, instead it concentrates on how to create GUI using the Java programming language. Hence you must have already known how to program with Java if this book should become useful to you. You must know how to write Java programs using a text editor or IDE. You must know how to compile and run your Java programs. It is better if you have created and successfully run your own Java project.

If you haven't done any of the above, I suggest you pick up a good Java book and start learning Java before you read this book.
