01-Basics Files
===============

EmptyClass.java     -- the simplest Java file
EmptyProgram.java   -- the simplest Java program
Hello.java          -- a traditional first program
SimpleProgs.java    -- a VERY detailed description of a simple program

    These four files show you the minimum requirements for Java. EmptyClass is 
    the smallest possible Java file. EmptyProgram adds a "method" named "main" 
    to turn the empty class into an empty "program" -- a Java class you can 
    "run". (It does nothing!) Hello is the Java version of the traditional 
    first program for a programmer to write -- it simply prints the sentence 
    "Hello, World!" 

    Finally, SimpleProgs is a very simple program with LOTS of comments saying
    what goes in each part of the program, and how the indentation helps us see
    the various parts of the program.


Output.java         -- a program that does some output
Variables.java      -- a program that creates and uses variables
SimpleMath.java     -- a program that does math with numbers and variables
RectangleArea.java  -- a program that does input and math
Strings.java        -- a program that shows some things you can do with Strings
IOTesting.java      -- a program that shows how to do input
RollDice.java       -- a program that shows how to simulate rolling dice

    The programs above are examples of basic Java programming. Most of them are
    just "practicing" programs -- showing how to do things. Look in these 
    programs for ideas on how to do the things we ask you to do in the labs and
    assignments.


DrawFaceFX.java     -- a program to draw a happy face using JavaFX GUI.
DrawFaceSwing.java  -- a program to draw a happy face using Swing GUI.

    These programs draw a happy face. One uses the JavaFX API and the other
    uses Swing GUI API. These are two ways of creating GUI programs in Java.
