This tutorial discusses using the AWT (Abstract Window Toolkit) of Java
to perform platform-independent GUI programming. It makes the following
assumptions:
Familiarity with C;
Exposure to OO programming;
Familiarity with a GUI library - preferably Motif.
Implementation details are based in Xt/Motif.
The intended audience is Xt/Motif programmers who want to see what Java
programming can offer, and understand its strengths and limitations.
