ptg7068951184 HOUR 13:Building a Simple User Interface
Summary
Users have come to expect a point-and-click, visual environment for the
programs they run. This expectation makes creating software more of a
challenge, but Java puts these capabilities into your hands with Swing,
which provides all the classes you need to provide a working, useful
GUI—regardless of what kind of setup you’re using to run Java programs.
During the next hour, you learn more about the design of a GUI as you
work with layout managers, classes that are used to specify how compo-
nents are arranged within a container.
