This text is designed to serve as a first handbook for developers who already have some knowledge of Java. Essentially, it presents the foundations of presentations, enabling readers to add their own levels of creativity. Using a single example in the Quick Tour, the book gets the user up and running in the development language. After the Quick Tour, the book proceeds to explain what Bongo is, why the reader should be interested in it, and how to use it. It covers the meaning of working with Bonge IDE, as well as the various techniques and tools required to produce Bongo presentations. Because the essence of Bongo is its 'widgets' (customisable interface components such as buttons and text boxes) a large proportion of the book is devoted to exploring widgets in general. The book highlights the more useful and important widgets using practical examples. The CD-ROM includes a demo version of Bongo, code listings, scripts, images and audio to enhance presentations.
