The individual programming assignments will be done using the Java Swing toolkit. The Java Development Kit (JDK using Java SE 8.x) and the NetBeans IDE (8.0) are both available in all CCIS computer laboratories. For those who wish to work on their own computers, the JDK and NetBeans can be freely downloaded from Oracle. NetBeans is not required to complete the assignments, but it has a rudimentary visual design tool that will be discussed and demonstrated in class and can be used for rapid prototyping graphical user interfaces.
If you are new to Java, a good starting place is the Java tutorial Trails Covering the Basics. We will be working through the Java Swing tutorial during the semester.
