Re: SWT & SOA Referrence Materials

    Hi Chad,

    I'm biased, but I do honestly believe you would go through a large
learning curve to end up a niche programmer.  Also, I subscribe to the Mac
list, among many others, and there have been some comments there about SWT
problems on that platform.

    If you want to check it out, "The Definitive Guide to SWT and JFace"

http://www.apress.com/book/bookDisplay.html?bID=351

 is a good start.  If you want another biased opinion, I know one of the
authors and could probably hook you up to get his current estimation.

    As to SOA, I don't offhand know of anything that is *the* source, but
Google is your friend.  Here are a couple of articles with plenty of
resource links:

"An Introduction to Service-Oriented Architecture from a Java Developer
Perspective"

http://www.onjava.com/lpt/a/5592



"Service-Oriented Architecture and Web Services: Concepts, Technologies, and
Tools"

http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/WebServices/soa2/

    HTH,

Hi all,



Do any of you have some recommendations on good reading material for
learning SWT and SOA?  Also, would anyone recommend SWING over SWT?  I
do not know much about either except that SWT can take advantage of
platform specific functionality.



Thanks a bunch,

Chad
