Java III will concentrate on the Swing components introduced in Java 2. The Swing components are an enhancement to the Abstract Window Toolkit (AWT) components which have been covered in previous courses. This course is a hands-on, practical look at creating more sophisticated Java programs utilizing the functionality of the Swing components. Students will learn how to create GUI menu systems and use Swing components to create frames, labels, borders, buttons, check boxes, radio buttons, combo boxes, text fields, text areas, file choosers, color choosers, internal frames, menu bars, tool bars, tabbed panes and sliders. Event processing code for each of the components is demonstrated. Students also learn how to read and write to files using the FileReader Class and other supporting classes. The course introduces Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) and Remote Method Invocation (RMI).
Prerequisites: Java Programming: Part II, or equivalent experience.
