Finally - an easy-to-learn approach to program Java applets! The book covers the Swing graphics (Java 1.5) using Java applets. It starts with an introduction to computing and a brief history of the Internet, then dives right into programming to give you a chance to create first and understand later. Simple drawing techniques are covered, followed by image processing, components, layout managers, design, events, control structures, neat tricks, debugging, game programming, java pros and cons, security issues, and how to host your applets on the Internet. This book is intended for beginners, allowing students to explore the concepts of programming without the drudgery of immense details. Instructors may contact the author to obtain access to lecture notes slides and other material for this course.
This edition has full color inside, with color codings on the Java code and all applet output.
