AWT Tutorial
Please read the "Introduction to the AWT" before reading this tutorial. This tutorial assumes some knowledge of the AWT already, not to mention Java!(This version of the Tutorial assumes even less). Also it is a good idea to get your hands on the JDK(Java Developers Kits) and printed documentation of the AWT classes.
Picking up a book on Java is also a good idea, "Teach yourself Java in 21 days" in nice, but not for people w/ 3+ months of experience in Java or those looking for a a CS book using Java. "Hooked on Java" is for applet users, not necessarily Java programmers.

The above will have the exact same files on Jan 8/96 and every two weeks thereafter. The links to the tar/gzipped and zip files here are a little more recent, but usually contain small changes or fixes and nothing really major.
AppletGen v0.9(beta). Generates a skeleton applet for you. Not yet newbie friendly. A 32-bit version(and a DLL so you can have it too!)will be released once I get my grubby hands on Delphi 2.0, ah well, what a poor student spends his money on!

What I am now working on? Well I liked to use Tk w/ Java, then design a total new Application Framework for Java that does not have the inherit limations of the AWT. Why? Many features needed for stand-alone applications simply aren't available or are too time consuming to implement(I need instant gratification!!!). Portability is not a CS student's first concern. What does it matter to me whether a Cellular Automata simulation does not run under Solaris, but fine under IRIX? It is however crucial to businesses and on the same line, so is internationalizability. Wonder why Microsoft is considered such as large exporter of goods and services.
