What is a JFrame and how does this differ from a Frame?? Am I all
right to use Java 1.0 SDK for practicing or do I need a more modern
version?
JFrame == Swing, which is a lightweight toolkit system.
Frame == AWT, which is heavyweight.
And please use Java 6. You get many more features, such as much better
concurrent programming utilities, a sane event system, the collections
libraries, not to mention all the new compiler features + etc.
Is there a book that was made that deals with applications programming
and doesn't spend 90%+ time on applets?
Most books I know of don't dwell on Applets.
What is J2EE? Sure is a lot of verbiage surrounding this language.
Enterprise Edition. You should probably stick with the Standard Edition.
What is the prefered development environment?
NetBeans and Eclipse are the most common Java IDEs; there are dozens of
others as well.
I need to get rid of this maximize box in the corner of my AWT
appliation window, any suggestions would be appreciated.
You may have to go to dialog boxes to get rid of it.
