Description

This is the fourth course in a five-part series on Java 2 Programming. The Java platform is based on the idea that the same software should run on many different kinds of computers, consumer products, and other devices. Java software works on any device from mobile phones to supercomputers and is incorporated into all major Web browsers. This course covers using the java.awt package and creating GUI programs. It covers using java.awt for layout, using the java.awt event package, and using the java.awt component library. It also covers creating applets and using the Swing package for creating GUIs.

Audience

Application Developers, Software Engineers, and Programmer/Analysts are some of the types of people who would benefit from taking this course. Learners should understand object-oriented principles and have created or compiled simple programs such as C or C++ prior to taking this course. In addition to having hands-on experience, students can take the C Programming series (courses 13201-13204) or the C++ Programming series (courses 13205-13208) to help them prepare to take this Java 2 Programming series. Students should have taken the first three parts of this series (courses 86001-03) prior to taking this course.
