integrated development environment

integrated development environment (IDE) is an application or set of tools that allows a programmer to write, compile, edit, and in some cases test and debug within an integrated, interactive environment.

Java toy example - Eliza

Who is Eliza? Eliza was born in the early 1960s in MITs labs. It is viewed as the first intelligent machine. Its creator is Prof. Joseph Weizenbaum. " . IBM : '' . ''

Whats next?
We will browse through a few of Javas basic capabilities and demonstrate how we used them in the toy example; We will focus on the collection framework, In\Out processing and User Interfacing (UI). Finally, we will raise a few questions.

Event Listener
Some Events and Their Associated Event Listeners Act that Results in the Event Listener Type User clicks a button, presses Enter while typing ActionListener in a text field, or chooses a menu item User closes a frame (main window)
WindowListener

User presses a mouse button while the cursor is MouseListener over a component User moves the mouse over a component Component becomes visible Component gets the keyboard focus Table or list selection changes Any property in a component changes such as the text on a label

The MVC pattern

Meet Little SmallTalk in OOP

Swing architecture is rooted in the model-viewcontroller design that dates back to SmallTalk. MVC architecture calls for a visual application to be broken up into three separate parts: A Model that represents the data for the application. The view that is a visualization of that data The controller that manipulates the view and updates the model
