Gave out some notes regarding the JButton class, and its usage with an ActionListener interface. Introduced the JTextField class.
Notes: JButton_Final_Notes
Example Programs: Download
Homework: Write a program that uses a GUI to prompt the user for their weight and height in inches, and then calculates their BMI (Body Mass Index). It should also indicate to the user if they are at a normal weight, or overweight or obese, using the information provided by http://www.whathealth.com/bmi/formula.html.

Class Summaries 12/9
I was in a meeting all day today, so there was a sub.
Precalculus
Finish the problems on the back of yesterday's notes (see the 12/8) entry for a copy.
Homework #7 for tomorrow (Again, see yesterday's entry).
Intro to Algebra
Complete the Chapter 3 Test B worksheets for homework. If you received a MATH-O card, fill in 16 answers for a chance at a bonus tomorrow.
Computer Science
For class today, complete the following:
1. Go here: http://chortle.ccsu.edu/java5/Notes/chap59/ch59_1.html and follow the online lesson all the way until the end of Chapter 59. (note that there are many other lessons like this one here: http://chortle.ccsu.edu/java5/index.html#59).
2. At the end, grab the code they show, put in into JCreator, compile and run it, and toy around with it to convince yourself you know what each part does.
3. Download this program: PushCounter. Please note that this is a .zip file that contains two .java files. You need to download both, save them to the same directory and compile them both.
4. Again, study this program, tinker around with it and convince yourself that you understand what does what.
5. Using the ideas in these two programs, write a small java application that creates a window with a frame and a button in it, so that every time the user pushes the button, something fun happens...be creative and be ready to demonstrate this in class tomorrow (Wednesday).
