For 2023 (and 2024 ...) - we are now fully retired from IT training.
We have made many, many friends over 25 years of teaching about Python, Tcl, Perl, PHP, Lua, Java, C and C++ - and MySQL, Linux and Solaris/SunOS too. Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own risk.

Lisa and I (Graham) now live in what was our training centre in Melksham - happy to meet with former delegates here - but do check ahead before coming round. We are far from inactive - rather, enjoying the times that we are retired but still healthy enough in mind and body to be active!

I am also active in many other area and still look after a lot of web sites - you can find an index ((here))

Java module J902
Extending Graphics in Java
Exercises, examples and other material relating to training module J902. This topic is presented on public courses Java Programming for the Web, Java Extra

The original graphics classes of Java Ð the AWT Ð provide functionallity at a very low level. A lot of coding effort is required to provide even a simple GUI. The Swing classes are built on top of the AWT and largely suplant it; they provide much higher level components so that you can rapidly bolt together the look, feel and functionallity for a graphic-driven application.

1326GUI design - Sketch it out first! (Java / Swing example)
"A picture paints a thousand words" ... and so it is when you're planning a graphic user interface, and implementing it. Yesterday, I picked up an old example of a dialer written in Java - you can see the actual window it generates on the right - and was looking to work out how it hung together. ...
