During the last two weeks I've gotten my first taste of the book writing experience. I'm going to tackle the first couple chapters out of order. First up chapter 3. I've been lost in the gritty details of Java layout managers. After about the third example I coded, I began to remember how much I appreciate some of the open source layout managers over the ones included with Java. At the moment here is the rough chapter outline:
Besides comparing and contrasting each layout manager, I'll feature other topics like using explicit-tablelayout on top of ExplicitLayout and the various builders for FormLayout. Any suggestions are appreciated while I'm writing the chapter. I realize there are other layout managers available. I feel the three open source managers listed provide good coverage of the normally required functionality.
