Overview
The AWT is the cornerstone of the Java Foundation Classes. Volume 1 provides detailed descriptions of every aspect of the 1.2 AWT, including: Event Handling; Layout Managers; Graphics, Colors & Fonts; Image Manipulation; Lightweight Components; Data Transfer & Drag and Drop; Double Buffering; and Sprite Animation. Java expert David Geary provides clear and in-depth explanations of both fundamental and advanced AWT Concepts. The accompanying CD-ROM includes all of the example code from the book, ready to run on Solaris, Windows 95, and Windows NT along with the JDK 1.2 beta for those platforms.
Complete with CD-ROM, this comprehensive guide details graphical user interface development with Java Development Kit (JDK) 1.2. Intended for object-oriented developers, it gives users a thorough grasp of how the AWT is designed and how to best take advantage of that design. The guide covers both basic and advanced topics, including double buffering, sprite animation, clipboard transfer and data transfer. It does not, however, cover the 2D API.
