• The File Class, Byte, and Character Streams Hierarchy
• Data Streams: Data Input Stream and Data Output Stream Classes
• The Random Access File Class
• The Scanner Classes: StreamTokenizer, StringTokeniz er
• Creating a Thread, Thread Priorities, Synchronization

Session 4: Threads, Applets, and Event Handling

Threads

The Java thread model, States of Threads, Thread Class & Runnable Interface Methods

Self study: Interthread Communication: wait(), notify(), notifyAll(), suspend(), resume()

Applets

Applet Basics and Architecture, Applet Initialization & Termination, Applet Restrictions

Writing a Simple Applet, Visualizing How an Applet Works, Simple Applet Display Methods, Overriding update(), Requesting Repainting - Threads in Applets,

Using the Status Window, the HTML APPLET Tag, and  Passing Parameters to Applets.

Event Handling

Event Classes, Sources of Events, Event Listeners and Interfaces, Handling Mouse Events, Handling Keyboard events

Self-study: Adapter Classes and Interfaces, Inner Classes

Session 5: The AWT, Swing & java.util Packages

The AWT (Abstract Windowing Tool Kit)

The AWT Class Hierarchy

• The Frame Windows, Creating Frame Windows in Applets
• Working with Graphics, Colors, and Fonts
• Using AWT Controls: Label, Button, CheckBox, CheckBoxGroup, Choice list, List, TextField, TextArea.
• Arranging Components on a GUI: Using various Layout Managers

The Swing

Designing a GUI with Swing using:

The util Package

Contains collections, the most exciting enhancement added by Java 2. A collection is a group of objects. Its addition caused fundamental alteration in the structure and architecture of many elements in java.util that contains a wide assortment of classes and interfaces:

• Date Related Classes:    Date, Calendar, TimeZone
• The Random,  BitSet, and  StringTokenizer  Classes
• The Enumeration Interface & Legacy Classes: Vector, Stack, Dictionary, HashTable, Properties
