DESCRIPTION
With the arrival of Sun's Java Foundation Classes (JFC), Java developers can write full-featured, user friendly, platform independent end user applications.
This two-day course shows you how to take advantage fo the new JFC Swing classes to streamline the construction of state-of-the-art user interfaces.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
You'll learn what the Swing classes are, what they allow you to accomplish, and how they work together.
Step-by-step you will be able to develop JFC-based applications and components, and master such crucial JFC concepts as pluggable look-and-feel.
Java Foundation Classes: SWING begins with basic principles of programming with Swing and then moves on to explain the model-view-controller (MVC) architecture found in SWING components.
Additional topics include the layout manager, springs and struts, actual controls like buttons, keyboard handling (and mouseless operation) and dialog boxes, the tree and table controls and a look at creating mulitple document interface (MDI) applications.
