Threads
It is often the case that you would like a program to be able to do more than one thing at a time. You might, for example, want to monitor the keyboard for a key being pressed by a user and, at the same time, track the movement of the mouse by the user and repaint the screen. Each of these tasks can be thought of as a single thread in a... | | Graphical User Interfaces
In the previous unit we described how data such as that from a file could be communicated to a Java program. However, there is also a need to handle data that is communicated in more diverse fashions and, in particular, directly from a human. Such data is often taken into a system via a graphical user interface (GUI). GUI design is a major... | | Event-Driven Programming
The previous unit, Unit 6, has shown you how to create graphical user interfaces that contain a wide range of components and have quite sophisticated layouts. You are also in a position now to make use of Java reference material to investigate and use other components and layouts. However, when the user clicks on a button or enters text, nothing... |

Java in the Large
The previous unit described the 'small' programming structures that languages such as
Java offer. We have been concerned largely with how we store and operate on data, and
how methods achieve their purposes. In this unit, we aim to show that Java is truly an
object-oriented language. Object-oriented languages provide better... | | Java in the Small
We have called this unit 'Java in the small' after atermcoined by DeRemer and Kron in a 1976 paper.This refers to the programming of the internal parts of programs, in particular the contentsofmethods.
The previous unit introduced the idea of objectscommunicating through the invocation of methods on objects. In this unit you will... | | Input, Output and Exceptions
Communication is vital. It is also potentially unreliable. This is true of human
communication, but also of communication between humans and computers, or equally
when one computer communicates with another across a network.
There are two fundamentally different ways of communicating with a Java program. In
this... |
