RCS212: OOP2: Writing A Graphical User Interface Programs

RCS212 is an object-oriented programming course that builds on concepts from RCS102 by focusing on developing graphical user interfaces (GUIs) in Java. The course covers multi-threaded programming, GUI frameworks like Swing and AWT, layout managers, event-driven programming, common Swing components, applets, drag and drop, and application deployment. It is assessed through tests, assignments, and a final exam. Students will write several Java applications to gain experience with real-world development tools.

RCS212: OOP2

Writing a Graphical User Interface


Programs
Introduction
• Object Oriented Programming, Part 2 (OOP2) –RCS212 is a
course that takes over from OOP course – RCS102.
• In RCS102 we built the basics and foundations of OO
programming, in RCS212 we are going to built the blocks
on top of this foundation.
• In this course we will concentrate on building Real – World
Java Applications that are user-friendly by using Graphical
User Interface (GUI).
• This course is more practical than theory thus students are
encouraged to write many Java Applications to orient
themselves with real world Java development tools.
Course Outline
• Multithreaded Programming: How to write a program with
many threads/processes
• Introduction to GUI: Swing Vs AWT, Top level Containers,
Frames
• Layout Managers & Absolute positioning: Flow Layout, Grid
Layout, Border Layout, Box Layout, Gridbag Layout, using
absolute positioning
• Introduction to Event-Driven Programming: Event and Listeners
• Different Swing Components: Button, Menu, Text boxes, list,
progress bar, etc
• Applets
• Drag & Drop approach
• Java Application Deployment
Administrivia
