Introduction

This chapter covers the classes and interfaces of java.awt that are used to organize the display of GUI components. Knowledge of these classes and interfaces is essential to developing a Java-based GUI. As a consequence, you will see quite a few questions about the material covered in this chapter. Fortunately, this material is not difficult. With some study and a little programming, you should be able to master this material. If you read through this chapter, compile and run the programs, and master the review questions, you should have no problem with layout managers on the certification exam.
