Elmo: hot chix at de passion of de christ? uh. Zilly: tell him hot chix with java books. Elmo: lol This part is all about inner classes. Inner classes are not the kind of thing that you need to deal with much of the time. In Swing programming, where you make graphical user interfaces, you will likely need to use them. But if you go on to write Java on the server side using servlets and JSPs, or if you write a console application, you aren't likely to ever need them. But they are important in GUIland, and that is a non-trivial land to us here. So let's check them out, see how to use them, and get on with our lives. My eyes are burning. Aren't yours? |
