Designing Graphical User Interfaces in Java Technology

Course Description

Course Outline/Details

The Designing Graphical User Interfaces in Java Technology course provides students with an overview of the Abstract Windowing Toolkit (AWT) from the Java platform to enable the student to create programs with graphical user interface (GUI) components (buttons, checkboxes, textfields, and so forth). In addition, the mechanics for handling events generated by GUI components are presented. This course also introduces you to applets, their life cycle, and key methods involved when using applets.
