I picked up a copy of Symantec's Visual Cafe about 6 months ago, and
have been experimenting with it. The documentation is horrendous. I just
about have it figured out though, so I got a copy of Visual Age for Java
at Common for $24.00. It uses JDK version 1.1. VC was using 1.0.2, so
now I'm scratching and clawing again. The event model has changed a LOT.
There's a pretty decent tutorial and CD course that comes with VA, and
SAMS has a "Java Unleased" book that is pretty good, although you need
to get your feet wet a little before it helps a lot. The API
documentation can be found at
