Problem Solving in Java Ep7 ~ Swing Combo Box
5This is the last episode in this series although I've received some great comments and PMs on what I could have done differently. I may think about making an eighth 'Lessons Learned' episode later on with the issues corrected that have been commented on:
- Class vs Instance Variables.
- Using instances more judiciously
- Making better use of constructor methods.
- Taking better control of the Swing environment.
- and others.
Thanks for the comments and suggestions - I've learned a lot from them.
I hope my approach was helpful - I'm sure the coding itself wasn't very helpful if you are learning Java.
Crusader Kings 2 has now just been updated to 1.03 and the Game of Thrones Mod should follow fairly soon - perfect timing. Back to the gaming videos!
DISCLAIMER: I know next to nothing about Java and this is most likely going to be a very poor example of coding in Java! If you program in Java please add your perspective in the comments - I learn a lot from your comments. :)
The approach in this series will be to use the design pattern Model View Controller (MVC) which will allow us to split up our thinking as we solve the various problems.
