Re: Applet Changes in 1.5_03 SDK?

Thanks Noem,

The Author of this book was trying to introduce layout managers and event
handling. I even used his code and got the same results. After some
snooping I found a slightly different workaround.. I just overrode the
start() method and called setSize() method with the parameters used in the
resize method... I also junked the validate call.
I should have guessed that there would be more problems with the book.. I
was very disappointed with the class that I took, it wasn't challenging at
all. I come from a C/C++ background and I expected the course to cover GUI
based OO application development, but I couldn't have been more wrong... The
entire course just used console apps to rehash every simple concept I have
ever had in other languages..
Picking out the authors errors and figuring out what needs to be done to fix
them is more satisfying.
