An intermediate-level programming tutorial for Microsoft's Application Founding Classes (AFC) for Java. Topics include creating AFC applets, button components, band boxes and status bars, property sheets and wizards, viewer components, and event classes. Includes 150 tiny applets, most of which demonstrate a single AFC programming technique. A good grasp of general Java programming is required to get the most out of the text, though advanced Java concepts such as creating layouts and responding to events are reviewed.
