EPORTFOLIO

As a group, select a library from the Java API and create a 3 to 5max slide PowerPoint presentation that introduces the library. the presentation should give a new programmer the how and why to use the API. Post your presentation here under “Final Submission.”

   Hello, I would like to place my votes on 2 API’s.

   My first choice is the java.util package. Everyone needs to learn how to accept input. It’ a requirement for almost all applications.

   My second choice is java.awt, the Java Abstract Windw toolkit. This is a requirement to manipulate GUI applications in Java. I’m voting on this because, like myself, many people who start programming on their own (at first without taking it in a class), they start off with GUIs and window based applications.

   ———————-===———————–
   Another note, since this is a teamwork project, let’s wait until Thursday or Friday to tally up the results on our votes for an API. This gives everyone in the class enough time to chime in. we can construct the presentation from Friday to Sunday.
   Does this sound like a good idea to everyone?
   ———————-===———————–

   So far, including my post, there’s

   4 votes on Java.Util
   1 Vote on Java.Awt

   Ok, I second that motion that the first slide should explain and introduce the package.

   The second slide can contain the working models. Actual code, screen shots of it. A graphical display that teaches how to use the package and so forth. The third slide can be a summary and an end to the second.

   The people reading the slides should be able to fully understand and see the package in work by the second slide.

   On a personal note, I’m up for whatever code you all have in mind. Here’s the beginning of a description for Java.util (feel free to elaborate and extend):

   The Java.Util package contains utility classes commonly used in programming. These classes provides frameworks and adds functionality that would normally be tedious to implement.

   The following website contains package information about java.util:

   http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/util/package-summary.html

   whatever packages we choose to use, such as java.util.scanner, should be described.
